Bird in France
Last unissued, Doctor Robert
springs it, a yard of alto
on the rim, spun
by scratchy retrieval —
weight billows, a potato, a stone
with eyes alive
salt in the groove
'la même chose'
sows a beat (story)
out of war
tracks across
Nowhere twice, 52nd Street
Hot House...
chur-cheep, jink-tzit
slides, slurs
sung in the grid
reedy-metallic
a continent latched on
to go over, for-mee-dar-ble
faces reflected in a bucket
(champagne on ice)
respect like the classics
for fingers, plump
tapering, and lips
above the suit
skin isn't the issue
even if spades lie up
steeped in the riff
and away, high and hard
night of the working
Five
(From Days of 49)
