instrument



















Sometimes directors sought out Deneuve, the inhumanly beautiful blonde, the icon to be worshipped and, on occasion, defiled. Sometimes she sought them out. “I like to be directed, to be someone else’s instrument,” she says, sipping her Diet Coke (no ice), still lovely at 67 although clearly, as they say, “worked on.” “I like someone who knows what he wants from me and where he wants to take me.”

brown penny

 i whispered, "i am too young,"
and then, "i am old enough";
wherefore i threw a penny
to find out if i might love.
"go and love, go and love, young man,
if the lady be young and fair."
ah, penny, brown penny, brown penny,
i am looped in the loops of her hair.

o love is the crooked thing,
there is nobody wise enough
to find out all that is in it,
for he would be thinking of love
till the stars had run away
and the shadows eaten the moon.
ah, penny, brown penny, brown penny,
one cannot begin it too soon.

pane of ice

"..now I resemble a sort of god
floating through the air in my soul-shift
pure as a pane of ice. It's a gift."

roses are for boys

tango magnolia
















in banana-lemon singapore, in storms,
when the ocean sings and cries
and drives in dazzling blues
a distant caravan of birds...
in banana-lemon singapore, in storms,
when your heart is in silence
you grieve alone,
frowning you dark blue eyebrows.
