(15/30) Riffs

The Prompt for day 15: write a poem inspired by your favorite kind of music.


blow / blowing / blow
each note, a gilded lily
improvising serenity

melodic hypnotic
percussive jihad
airborne narcotic

horns and piano
sway walls like
Jericho

shards of heaven
shooting from
tickled ivory

pace rushes,
give the drummer
some        more

temporal lobe Charlestons,
blood thumping like
a packed hardwood dance floor

I turn up the volume;
sax makes love to eardrums
at 33⅓ RPM.
