carmen mcrae...
Hey, Carmen
I see threads & doors
I hear portals opening & closing
Shutting off the travels to the sloping hill to the sea
Star pebbles a Milky Way a moon white blue & green & wispy
& jazz
My trumpet broods there
With Monk at midnight & my big band Carmen singing out
Carmen McRae & people & boats go by
But only Carmen is wearing red
I saw something beautiful last night
The piano was tuned
& a minute ago jazz at the sloping hill to the sea
The waves a jumble of color
All the colors of midnight
I see threads & doors
I hear portals opening & closing
Shutting off the travels to the sloping hill to the sea
Star pebbles a Milky Way a moon white blue & green & wispy
& jazz
My trumpet broods there
With Monk at midnight & my big band Carmen singing out
Carmen McRae & people & boats go by
But only Carmen is wearing red
I saw something beautiful last night
The piano was tuned
& a minute ago jazz at the sloping hill to the sea
The waves a jumble of color
All the colors of midnight

another blues...
In the journey in the world
San Francisco, L.A.
Salinas
Monterey
Scotland & St. Louis
In the warm cool of the days & the nights
Signs
&
Roads
&
Seas
What happens when flying horses fly?
There on the mountaintop snow slight
The lavender & pink thread of morn
&
I a small book of old sketches in my hand
A ruddiness
In my hair & on my face
In the journey in the world
&
Blue
&
Blues
All warm in the warm cool of the days & the nights
Of watercress & wishes

not just...
Not just
Me
But
The
Whispered song & poem
Say
Bob Marley's got it right; all right
Chet Baker
Robert Johnson too
Not just me
Not just you
But
The
Whispered song & poem
See
Peeled clapboards on the sea side of the house
Light blue
Lavender
Chipped
The dawn flies in the dusk
