Jazz

To Dr. Fossner

Just listen to the music
drawing Southern cries.
roots of rhythmic moon
sibilate the forms of crystal

spread the swinging drums
crowding New Orleans night in Jersey
awaken inner voices
and hats lost in the rain

Let’s listen
here’s the music
spelling centuries ahead
burning chains where lost horizons
drew closer and beyond
