Neo-noir Neuage is a revival of noir Neuage textuality, a genre that flourished during the post-hippie era —roughly from 1970 to 2015 following the Neuage-Textuality hippie era of the 1960s. Post Neo-noir Neuage is the present time mate. [there was also the short-lived Fucked Poetry of Neuage - but we have gone pass that era...thankfully.] SEE Content/Indexof all for this cycle. To add to the possible confusion, Terrell Neuage was Terrell Adsit pre-1980 when it was changed to Neuage in Hawaii in 1980.

we spent
so long
making ourselves
beautiful
to do dancing
in the night
Then the rain fell
your makeup
coloured your face
our hair
so carefully brushed
rolled
placed
headed for the boardwalk.
We ran to the sea
falling in the sand and losing
each other
in between flashes of lightening.
The ocean was cold
our laughter warmed the Atlantic
and we swam toward the dawn
while the ocean took our beauty
and coloured the morning sky
in hues that every morning
after
brings to the world.

part of a round-the-world victory celebration of the ending of my marriage
Everyone was there
my mum who put me up
for adoption then died from cancer
my mum who raised me
then died from old age
my brother who still
is my favourite human who died of AIDS
my girl friend who killed
herself in 1987
my girl friend who killed
herself in 1972
my master teacher who
died of a brain tumour
my master teacher who
killed herself
my dog (puppy) who chased
another dog whilst in heat never to return
We shared a glass of
liquid light
talked about the old
days
and how strange it was
that I was still alive
when the plan had always
been
that I would go first
and meet all of them
after I had set the
table
for this our final meal
together.
