The Chase

Here I go again disturbing the den of my unconscious mind,
As if I were a hound and it a fleeing hind.

Business Woman (1980)

Business woman don't you know

Davie Treats

If you really want to know

So heartache cannot stay.
A life where different pieces fit -
A life that gives and takes...

circus

atop tightropes
jumping through hoops ablaze with fire
leaping from horse to horse
in surrealistic somersaults
leaving one trapeze behind for another
liquid in air
ears red with passion
loins lose
hands calloused with the thrill

Hind and Hound

Here I go again disturbing the den of my unconscious mind,
As if I were a hound and it a fleeing hind.
Still, fawnlike, it eludes my capture.
Only leaving behind a perilous rapture.
But if I should manage to enthrall it,
