Listening to faltering surreal broadcasts
serenading another Summer equinox,
the composition’s title eludes him,
Miles;haunting contemplative succinct
flags down thoughts mimicking melancholy,
Gil Goggins’ circumspect piano
embedded in the spent day’s residue
receding like the listener’s reverie
broken by random sniper-shots of glass,
endemic tension flowing,
burst-veined onto midnight alleys
of this midnight City,
frantic frazzled red ‘n’ blue
taking some more cold meat
away to the coroner’s slab,
away from midnight streets
haunted by ” Yesterdays”,
that title hunted down and
captured by a desire to
have words for that spell
cast on a long ago night
in a faraway City where
another night-listener
heard the night
with its surreal,faltering..
