Blue Bell Jazz Club
2am
after midnight
no sleep
so explore till the break of dawn
3am
find the Blue Bell Jazz Club
no sleep
so here I am, where heels and earrings mellow the night edge out
4am
she appears on stage, the red lip magnificent main act
no sleep
her dark african skin shining with a life full of otherday fight
5am
the piano plans to move in with the saxophone
while the clarinet writes an ode to the undervalued and the nearly old
no sleep
so I am flute and my sound wails in memory of the one that gave me away
6am
after dawn
and in my traversing and exploring,
no sleep
so I discover the antidote called new you
and I instantly know there will be no more dark blue....
