New Jazz Haiku
Courtesy Mike Jurkovic
Hills holds the blues basic blues
of woman of man
whipping wild car chase
bass drums sax breaks script dancers
scatter bing bang boom
hip and full of head
space starburst arpeggios
run wild eighty eights
pelo's fajitas
spice the air down near Mezzrow's
where the dancers stir
modal dialogue
gauzy muses ghostly phrase
a dollop of bop
flutes and reeds Sun Ra's
dreamscape landscape night sky big lunar star burst sound
