the rebirth

the majestic sounds

of melancholy memories

they continue to

soothe my soul,

like coltrane’s blue

train slowly lulling

me to sleep,

comforting, as his

poetic notes become

my notes upon

a poetic slope,

downsizing the orchestrated

cries of a

city longing to

be born again,

like the saints

of, new orleans,

to be awakened

by, to be

mistaken nah, an

entertaining piece of

jazz i might

say, containing cymbals

of metaphors and

similes, as if

this moment would

last into infinity,

like the words

of any great

poet, blowing illustrious

syncopated tunes made

only by the

black and white

keys of alicia,

but you don’t

even know my

name, and still

my words rise,

the REBIRTH.
