In June
Under the sea pines
A new breath
& in summer too
In the Cathedral of Jazz
Larks & lilies fly - play jazz trumpets
Like Gabriel
Violins
&
Jazz cellos
Like Yo-Yo Ma & Ray Brown
&
I on the glass road to the Bodhi tree
& from the piano room
The sun is under a river pine
Shining on the crystal ashtray on the long oak table
Above the lotus blossom & the water buffalo
On the red rug below
Big band Blue Monk
Monk is 50
On the steps of great places
Lonely places two chairs high benches blank boards
But
The
Jazz
Of
Thelonious Monk
Is
In the looking glass
&
Red leaves
Fall
