Distracting Books, Beautiful Sax


Bronze brass breathe deep and stares do seethe

the show before our gazing heaps

of noise and silent gushing cares

praised hallowed reaping notes do creep.


Then silent walls begin to speak

the noise once hidden in the hush

begins to pull and slip unstuck

to frame a noise distracting beats.


Once focus glides towards bolstered horns

now concentrate their blare no more

i focus more upon the floor

which holds the book that broke the score.


Eyes rub roughly upon my back

annoyed I brace now looking at

the same nude head before my face

but lost among a trail untraced.


If only friction fixed the place

of pages held and gravitate

not to the floor but coiled embraced

upon the piano where it was laid.
