By GENIE NAKANO
I love the music
before I was ever born
sentimental,
with a big band memory
why change me now
hear that bass
plays so deep and low
her fingers slide
across all keys
Alice Coltrane, I want more
Eartha Kitt
taught me to work rhythm
walk across a stage
her costume rests with mine
friend, teacher, guiding star
last night’s dream
in moss green velvet
gardenia in my hair
breathing pixelated colors
I dance a millimeter above ground
I know somewhere
sweetness fills the air
like the flowers you gave
when our love was new
I can’t believe it’s over
cigarette ashes
fall on the floor, we don’t care
or think of being gone
isn’t that the way…
a sigh lingers on and on
