A New Freedom
...dedicated to John Coltrane
Shrieking and squawking,
following prophets through uncharted waters,
wailing in sustained arpeggios.
He mimics constellations, blazing stars in rich profusion,
pulling passion into focus with dark, supple tones.
Religions and mythologies,
screams of souls in harsh enslavement,
sources for his stark doxologies;
charting new boundaries of rhythm and rhyme,
a new definition his legacy, growing with time.
