it has become ever more difficult
to remain gentile

a trio playing,
Sunday…the Vanguard?

just a week away
another day

brush on snare is solar plexus
the sandy grate of existence

atop deep
slow-walking
jade

bottom

music for
down some

broadway
losing love
more than sleep
some

other time
linger

the reprise
petrichor

my favorite things
skipping

motif
fades

away
some
other
day
