1954...

A bird flew out of the rosas
Ellington Coltrane and Hawkins
Played together out of the Victrola
Two more birds
A breeze on the fog
Goldfinches sparrows
No eagles crows or gulls though
Chet Baker
Paul Desmond
Chet Baker
The Chet Baker Trio
A sparrow dance a slight breeze in the geraniums
And just a curl of blue painter's tape
A silent movie flaps
In black and white and silence on the movie house wall
The first day of school

have a boat...


recital...

In the August moon
Under the globe lights
A viola
Outstanding and elegant
Speaks
Like Ellington
Like Ella

To her audiences,
'I love you madly.'

and brubeck and the meadow are full...

Tonight's the blue moon
And Brubeck and the meadow are full
Of hummingbirds
And there is a viola there
And tomorrow
Three sparrows will be in the thistle on the porch floor
In the water tray fluttering

I write best in the morning
I wrote yesterday
I write tonight
