it’s something
in between the lines
when bruthaz/sistaz

meet
and astral travel

in my search
for balance
thru word, sound
waitin’ for Sun Ra

for the first time
sweet
furturistik
roots
Miss Beverly

in tha Sound Cosmos
in tha Sound Universe

1983 . . . Notes to a Merman
the instrument
was an appendage
of his body
of his soul
and he lives
tomorrow
and the wails and moans
of an unearthly gender
still render
many people helpless
to the swirling sounds
of the outer bounds
he went into the ocean
but he did not drown
/he lives\
there are those of us who
may or may not have seen
1983
but Atlantis is waiting
drifting under the sea
bold as love, a new rising Sun
a message of love up from the skies of manic depression
a nightbird flying over the machine gun
a cry of love, a band of gypsys
a rainbow bridge
connecting souls –
FREEDOM
the machine has done its work once again
as our minds are left dazed by the screaming wind
while sand castles melt and fall into dimensions unknown
we can say that we have learned,
but we have not grown
the music follows the medium of the universe –
confusing, but not contumacious –
it flows turbulent, but not tempestuous
into hearts that are gracious
to be reborn
and disseminate
and be born again
the instrument
was an appendage
p.s.
i remember the inner-fold
and the muddy bowl
i was sixteen
and saw the LIFE magazine:
October 3, 1969 Vol. 67 No. 14
first published in Amerrykkkan Mau Mau-1990

Voodoo Child
i saw u thru the amplified soundz
tearing down mountains with the edge of your hand
i envisioned a prophecy thru yur vibrant strings
that most mortals could not comprehend
i did not smoke weed or mount King Heroin’s steed
and yet a machine-gun tore my body all to pieces
i traveled thru sand castles and moonbeams
i drifted on seas of old heartbreaks
i lived yur electric dreams
just a message from a voodoo child –
a requiem of old forgotten songs and faded memories
an escape from social oblivion –
a poem from a passenger
this is the last song i’ll sing fer u
tho u will always remain in my heart
i know the changes the people put u thru
and i guess that is why u had to depart
but God loves yur sound
and loves u the way u are
and as i see yur soul heavenbound
i hear the voodoo strings of yur loud guitar . . .
take me away,
Voodoo Chile

THE EYES
AND EARS
WHO CAME
BEFORE US
WHO BROUGHT
US FORTH
FROM THE DUST
SMELTED TIME
INTO A MACHINE
TRANSFORMED INTO
THE PHYSIKAL
WHAT BEFORE
WAS ONLY A METAPHYSIKAL
DREAM
HAVE CREATED GREATER BLOSSOMS
OF CREATION
OF VISION
COSMIC BLUEPRINTS
PERPETUAL IMPRINTS
THESE BEINGS
ARE A TESTAMENT
TO OUR SURVIVAL
THROUGH OUR MINDS
INTO OUR HANDS
HOW GREAT
THOU ART
MAKING SIGHT AND SOUND
FROM THE GROUND
MARKING OUR WAY
THROUGH THE
UNIVERSE
RECREATING
COMPLEMENTING
RA-PRESENTING
IMPLEMENTING
DISCOVERY
OF THE GREATER DARKNESS
WITH
TERMINAL LIGHT
OUT OF STRUGGLE
COMES
THE BEAUTY
BUILT FROM SUNS
AND STARS
AND RAINBOWS
LET US REVERE
THIS LINE
TO THE INFINITE
OUR ENDLESS FAMILY

reinventing music
inverting eardrums
reinvigorating sound passages
passages
pass ages
ear-th sages
outer-edge warriors
ripping through rhythms
re-encoding societies
weaving unknown patterns
raising the thoughts that liberate
and protect
humans of the higher mantra –
brothers – solid rock of ages
pioneers of energy tonality symbiosis (poets)
audio-art healers
lifting the surrounding air
smashing the demonic duppies
a rage of righteousness
and lovingkindness
lifting the surrounding bodies
through omni-dimensional
space – time
ultimate harmonic flight
directed by Spiritual guidance systems
this is the music of thinking
nurturing the dance of reason and revelation –
Soul futurism –
the grand, multidisciplinary
vibrational vessel of ascendancy
instrumental musical prayers
for a world in overdrive
