Night Music

Black & white cars 
slink slowly beside you
in cool, carnivore evening – jazz
curling sleepily in silence.

Traffic lights nod 
As huge gas wings rise
& you fly, suspended
in winking night air.

Brooding drones
& ancient beasts
crawl toward you &
anger rises
till blood-jade moves
you on 
and calliopes 
of music meld night 
& twangy dung country,
rock hard air &
mournful white
blues wrap night,
hip-hopping 
to its changes – all
the countless intersections
of sweet, mindless, melodious
eternities.
