for cellist Audrey Chen
Always a bitter pill
python venom
eels in green grass water
blue sea blossoms spiraling
squeezing out a serum
from the heart
attack of guns in a jungle
high streamers in the sky
bright blue balloons
Cecil’s silent tongues
pas de deux with partner
exquisite tender flesh
starlight dancing in a body

About mindsonsong
I am Gordon Marshall, from the winding streets of Boston's North End. I like music--from '60s hard bop, to Nigerian psychedelic. It infuses my poetry, of which I have published ten volumes--which in turn informs my critical practice as a jazz writer, currently for AllAboutJazz.com, All About Jazz-New York--and this very site! I would love to hear from all lovers of music, poetry and philosophy.
