over Mohonk the myths the
mountain melodies
in small rooms without
windows the high humor of
comrades lost in jazz
crescent moon hangs low
above brooklyn saxophone
blues a sad guitar
Trane blowing truth to
every corner of the room
big blue westside moon
Dolphy and winter's
first snow Dolphy's blue flute and
the winter's first snow
buried in the bronx
Miles Duke Handy Lionel Max
rest where all gods go
