Birdsong

For what have I come

3 score and ten

I never wanted for pronouns

To describe my existence

But on this day after words

The Departed  float on the upright corner of the room

Smilingly softly

At  my  dreaming  nights

My questioning  days

And the strange pressure in my chest

That  hides the answer  

2013

And finally

Once there was  a  melody

I Played to death

When the body’s  energy traffic

finally found, the heart

And lyrically I swam in warm water

Floating with my arms open

And with a smile

 I knew

Listening to Coltrane 1a

bitches brew miles

Concoction  Thelonious

Climb me  from rabbit hole

Through  intervals ‘n scales 

To the divine sea

It’s  all or nothing

 Were  swim we always

brothers

2013

   

Listening to coltrane 1

Slide next to me in silence

 Slowly  note,  your hairs on my skin

 A taste in your aura

gave  dreams to my arms

I will  pour  you

on a thirsty  heart

and in haste

and  in the right way,  do I  turn

So  see, you may not

How  the softness  

that you are

has taken over 

my eyes

2013

Jazz

My world of gaps

I , dreaming  the evening

from a coltrane line

Below the hovering of  bird

in a dizzie sky

brubeck  red , mists up my sternum

And a sun that  must  move

 this evening

in  slow right angles to the horizon

to octave notes , a mazy trumpet rhyme

 a piano  and who knows what else
