– Excuse me,,,
I’m looking for a flower…
– It has a heavenly
fragrance –
likes to disguise itself…
– Her name is sometimes,
Rosa,
other times, Violeta,
or Margarita, or Orquídea…
– If you see her,
tell her that my jardín,
es su jardín,,,
y mi jardín la espera.

Read Poem/CommentWHEN A POET DIES…
(1/23/05) I read this tribute to Joseph (Joe) Hansen during his
memorial at Beyond Baroque. We met during the first meeting
of the Venice Poetry Workshop, back in ’69. When I walked in he
welcomed me & asked my name; after I said “Luís (Lou-EASE) Campos”
he exclaimed, “That’s a very poetic name!” Thank you, Joe, for
making me feel welcome, and for being who you were. RIP.

– The singing continues,,,
– The Earth turns
at the same rhythm,,,
– The Sun still rises,,,
– But it’s not the same,
there’s a great void,
a vast feeling of loss,,,
– If you listen closely
to the bird,
a note is missing,,,
– If you look at the stars,
they’re not as bright as
as they were,
when the poet wrote.

where everything that isn’t, is,,,

for darkness,,,
and the stars’ names
are on the Walk of Fame

Mañana is Today,
Bueno es Malo,
For Sure always means Maybe…

on my way to the office this morning…’
