Bagla Reverb
Same sun – different splinters- shattering shadow’s realm with
photon-haze raking at the day’s rippled perimeter. Footsteps echo the tinkling of a tiny lute. Concealed now, slipped under the overcoat and swallowed in its fold, the song-bird nestling within. Looking forward in sunny yellowed time we find our footsteps wandering along
alleys and wandering byways – bustling quays by the sea. Winding lanes with cellars and taverns. A whirling
zeibekiko emerges like a Dervish
through the
echoing teke door and we find in our footsteps
we’ve been here before. These echoing zithers, tinkling finger symbolic zelia and tapping darabukas- yawling
karamusas and mellifluous clarinos-
and the guitar, bouzouki and baglamas of the Piraeus-style zeibekiko 9/8 sound-
rebetiko’s early chant punctuated and decorated
by the ethereal
and shimmering bagla – surely
one of the most mystical and enchanted instruments ever to be given to man by the Gods…

Whirling Swirl 49
Clouds bilious accumulate towering and flimsy- blowing down the sky flits
a scrap of newspaper- whirling and curling overhead, riding the seaward breeze-
it’s The April issue of The Caterpillar Dub and it’s coming your way….. and
it’s blowing away down the street… a gust picks it up and into the sky it’s
whirled-

A stupendous view of the bay is commanded from the bay window
transoms, from Loe Bar, across by Halzephron and on down to Mullion and The
Lizard. Someone seems to swoon forward
in gentle reverie, images rippling outward from expressive, inventive mind. Cluck,
jackdaw's feather flutters to ground shimmering blue and dark shine.

Street-cars,
side-cars, allotments and rugby-pitches- a rainy Saturday afternoon, the radio
blaring. Fragments of lichen and Spanish
Moss cling to the trees - an old movie. Sunlight on the pavement on the hill, quiet. Grass sprouting in the gutter. Snatches of brass band music being blown
about by the wind; tattered posters
flapping on old brick walls, chimes of
an ice-cream van. Dry warm wind blows
the dust in rivulets along the brown and fading street, bleached by summer’s
old-time sun. A thousand summer suns
that shone and in shining shone on as one.
Side streets, rugby-cars and rainy allotment pitches on a radio
afternoon of blaring Saturday. Feet
clacking down dry dusty streets, past shacks of clucking clarion cockerels,
heralds, horns blaring. Swarming downtowns turned to brick, nostalgic
reverie reveals no intrinsically solid stalactites.
