bebop...

bebop
beating into the wind
face red n salt,
hair come to,
but loving the feeling
heeling up the driving
seas
capture time in a brush
leaving some canvas
stopping time
or on a well lived
written line leaving some
words
stop time
I will try today very hard in the
sun in the blind
where
the curtain lifts.

Frida Kahlo (1907-1954)...

November 22...











A nation dark and so
a trumpet cries out,
live at Birdland.

the dance floor hums...

in the deep green long grass meadow
walking
a wavy fast musically blue sky
fly me
walking fast to the poetic
needed now !
wanted now !
wanted
poetic nostalgic
not for "the good ol' days"
but for a dawning of a better jazz age:
strappy gold shoes
the dance floor
hums.

singers songwriters sailors n soldiers
