Coltrane

I am quite taken with the sultriness from the 
Coltrane grove sending hints of cedar down 
my spine as I enters the room arousing the sassy 
brassiness of my horizons a solid structure 
forms each time his fingers tap the saxophone
unspeakable melodies hindered just so under 

the balanced keys behind the piano mans 
harmony and then the butterflies dance again 
as he kisses this instrument I'm quite 
taken again the sound lingers over the 
snow capped mountains after being blindly

sent out from beneath bales of hay where 
southern hospitality seems to whisper please
stay awhile an yet my brown eyes began 
to sink into the night sky as stars shoot out
across the darkness lights seems to fade dem 
and glow as John Coltrane finishes the show
