191- Beyond The Appletree Lane Collection- 1097 Van Antwerp Road, Niskayuna, New York


I Shall Be Released, The Band



2142 Appletree Lane
Prometheus Unbound
Pegasus Rising With The Light 
























1097 Van Antwerp Road, Niskayuna, New York


Summer of 84.

I wrote in a Loft 

Behind Rose, colored stained glass windows

Listening to Gordon Grey

Play Peter Gabriel’s Red Rain

On his electric guitar

All hours of the night. 


Played in the yard with Abbey

An English Sheep Dog

Named for the studio

the Beatles recorded in.


I was Uncle Albert 

To every one then

On the ceiling

Laughing Gregariously

Like Ernest Hemingway 


Sure that I would 

Publish with Simon and Schuster like

Lowell Thomas'
Book of the 
High Mountains

Nantucket Yacht Club Slip Blue



Nantucket Yacht Club Slip Blue



Eerie early morning drizzle dripping
off yellow Sears rain slickers
blue fog steaming
Captain Zoom's coke bottled bottomed
John Lennon glasses.

"Did I know you
were legally blind
without them?"

Starring through streaming
streaking shiny bright brass
framed teak deck
yacht port holes
filled with rainbow colored
crystal  decanters
bustling blue uniformed crews.

 You said,
"certainly some have not
what the others have>

Your vision was perfect
for the fall of 1973.
Today's Song
