the music...

Sunlight & staircases
Blue windows
In the pines
Pianos & violins
& saxophones
&
Holly sings
Man I Love
Old microphone old Joe
Whistle
At the sea
At
The
Orange
Night
The ponds & the stars
& the gingerbread's colors brightest at dawn
The row doors & stoops
& the bandstand lighted
White lattice
On the green
No snow on the pond tonight
Just
It
- -
The breezes the tangerines & the music
- -
& Man I Love

& song tonight...

& song tonight
the pond is alive -
The pretty willows wild geese & blue cold water

the sloop, the muse sally sea...

Out
The Matisse open window
Boats
On a flower beach
On a flower sea
Sailing
To palm leaf Havana & her courtyards of paint
Oh!
The sloop, The Muse Sally Sea
Sails
In a tossing ocean against the current
Leaving the Philosophic & the Beautiful Landscapes
Rain & wind sun & moon
Buoys dint the hull walls
Fenders shield the bucking bow
& lyrics & jazz
& soul eyes go
To
Hear
Lester Young at Olivia's Patio Lounge
& visit
Clifford Brown's horn twice a week wherever it is
& on a low bench
Paintings & sketches are stacked pencils & brushes
A red pen & paper, some folded some crumpled
Pictures
&
Song
And on the bench too Matisse's book, Jazz
& black coffee black tea, breads & raspberry jam
The oil lamps rattle
&
Outside
All the easels fall over
She holds Van Gogh's letters tightly
- - a lovely storm
