the bass begins
a dark blessing
curving low
responded to
by speaking drums
cymbals breaking air molecules
into wobbling spinning discs
then enters the saxophone
the player shoeless
he completes the triangle
with flutter ascension riffs
and hello punctuations
phrases that pose questions
only you can identify
the music has gone from
sound-gap-silence-sound
to a flowing river
the fish finning below
trace the story
told by the
saxophone
bass
and
drums
