Bay sparkles
Sun bright
City sparkles
Man and pigeon
Rest
In Union
Square …
Others bustle
Flexing every leg muscle
To hurry
To their destination.
Feel free
Swinging down the street
Careless,
Watching
The living and the non-living
Wondering –
Is it real?
And just then
A cable car
Rattles by …
A layer of clouds
mimic
the shape, shade, and colour
of the mountains below.
And below the mountains
the towns
glimmer, glisten, and glow
in the lowering sun.
A rock wall
put together
like a jigsaw puzzle
surrounding
a tree
put together
like a crossword puzzle.
Tintinnabulation
with overpowering right
tintinnabulation
can be heard in the night
tintinnabulation
echoing in the still, clear night
tintinnabulation
tintinnabulation
standing on a hill of height
tintinnabulation
glimmering below are many lights
tintinnabulation
resounding in the night
tintinnabulation
tintinnabulation
dignity and might
tintinnabulation
bites the still, clear night
tintinnabulation
tin-ti-
nab-
u-
la-
tion.

Born a fourth generation native San
Franciscan in 1947, Sy Guth reached her teen-years during the 1960s. At university,
Sy
majored in the Arts and minored in English and in 1971 received her Baccalaureate of
Arts degree in Interior Design and Ceramics. The 1960s were extremely
provocative years in the San Franciscan Bay Area. Rich in higher education
institutions, the Bay Area was alive and vibrant during the 60s and spawned the
Hippy Movement. The 60s came on the heals of the Beat Generation of the 1950s
with its bohemian poets and artists. Sy's poetic style, especially the beat and
sentence construction, was greatly influenced during her teen years by the San
Francisco beat poet, Lawrence Ferlinghetti. She uses more punctuation in
her
poetry then did Ferlinghetti, particularly in regards to the dot dot dot (. . .)
at the end of a line to cause a pause in thought and reading. The reading of
the poetry should be read in a rhythmic constant beat, almost like the even
beating of a drum.
