OVERPARTS

He belongs to the night people; stories without legs and fast rooms with slow talk. His music is the jazz that drowns out the guilt while overpowering the need for more.   His words are like sledgehammers, crushing the crystal while sharp edges rub the skin of your listening.   Sleep is an intrusion to … More OVERPARTS

THIS WAY OUT

I just walked into the backside of out. A shadow familiar to me, although the road ahead was new.   I took a bus to New Orleans. Open windows, crying kids, two days without a shower and living on crackers and warm beer.   The city greets me with a hazy sunrise and the sounds … More THIS WAY OUT

SIDEWAYS

In the jam of the group one note sets the tone, created within smoky circles the sound complete, a tight message of music, fingers pulling the jazz, drums striking up a beat, brushing the day aside, as the horn digs deep, the sax pushes out a raspy scratch and the bass mellows into an undercurrent … More SIDEWAYS

A LINE OF STRINGS

A thickness of quiet pulled the air into slow where it begged to be filled. A big muddy of thoughts spread over the crowd, like the water they were; wet collars, sweaty palms.   A low tide of moving hands struck a line of strings, releasing songs too heavy for corners, to bright to hide. … More A LINE OF STRINGS

CONTROL

The dirt of jazz roams like roads under his skin. He feels the change of his blood to hot. Listeners drip words from warm whiskey. High collars and smooth talk rolls off chairs of night wisdom.
