another poem

this one is from a solo performance by Sonny Rollins at MOMA


                                       a saxophonist in the garden of art
                                                                 for Sonny Rollins


you perch
                        three
notes on a polished
belly the air
around her pregnant
with unheard 
vibrations your horn breathes
mind's still water
colors spread
under your tongue young
woman in yellow dress opens
her eyes explode black
blues in art's garden

outside the gate police
                                                          hold
the crowd
                      in their arms
