Jazz Standard

Autumn Leaves dance like freshly poured coffee

              bending spinning, 

                                          cracking

                             don’t worry, the trees will be fine most

                             everything blends orange to gray;

 

fine endings for delicate earth          Love Letters as

            great owls drift in Misty rain caught in a

                            hollow happiness 

 

                            it’s just like the old songs say ; the 

                            jazz standards that is

              komfort is found in swirling rivers 

letting the waning 

                             moon sing on half frozen lakes and the

 

need to dip Little Suede Shoes in a puddle

 

open a door

             pin it to a wall and 

                           quench the thirst for Giant Steps

                           reaching, stretching, wishing for tomorrow 

 

              search for some meaning in 

                              thin CDs and

                              use the wind as a backing track for old 

                              vinyl ; scratched by a 

                                           weathered needle ; the willowy pinging of the

               xylophone braids 

                                            your  fingers with the 

                                                                       zoolike tones of an open door
