1
pine chop chunks cook in adagio
resin coming out in gentle smoke aroma
the weak light bulb
enough for the chess game
the Mendelssohn concerto
on the scratching turntable
the floor of polishing cement
the teak rhino watching
the generator will stop now
near ten
2
Walking with heavy tape recorder bulk
thick button, weak battery
with Mozart flute and harp
hearing the clarinet warble back then
a long time before the film
with school and house
was thought about
watching the gazelle, giraffe, zebra
by the lake of lotus and tilapia
in the Rift.
3
A party with the nurses in Igoji
Bert Kaempfert swinging away
with staccato trumpet
cheese wire strings biting in
coffee tree, mud track
groaning of the car
the hint of yet another blast of rain
axe, arrow flint
women with banana bunch
on their back
