free like air
and the little girls
in the neighbourhood
laughing as they play
in the evening
and the sky smiling
at me its blue melting
into white into dusk
and Ben Webster
on his horn blowing
so coolly I feel
I am floating in water
though I’m lying down
in my bed
and I become the music
the golden slow notes
spreading till I fill up
the universe and glow
in bliss.
