There are some people who become as necessary to your
wellbeing as the air in your lungs and that’s what Jazz is meant to capture.
Jazz
A need for you lingers in the way I write
the letters of my
name, up and down with
this leaky pen like
somehow I could capture
the momentum that
takes me past the cold
environs of our past,
like if I run enough
I might one day fly past Italy
and into France,
but loving you is
still the music I wish to play,
kissing your lips is
still like jazz to me,
a song I play in the
jukebox of my mind so often
I don’t even want to
dance but while lying here
counting ceiling
tiles and tracing the outlines
of my ribs I realize
there’re no more ricochets,
no more loud bangs to
do me in,
lying against this
window I breathe a fog of
damp air so I can
write inside the glass,
“Meet me here.’
