MUSING


your red sneakers get bigger
as you use the bebop scale
to climb the night

even sleeping with your guitar
even following the vapor trail
of the disappearing cat
won't make the bad image of your father
unwind itself
but that's what I want:

the raveling to happen right now
while the inner core is still shiny and smooth
to follow straight through
the vibration which clears
like the tritone from the root resolving
just a half step up
to the good five

and goodbye coke and shattering
hello to the new life
lyric of forget not but forgive

truth of blues going over
to the lift up of jazz
