956. THE WORK OF STRANGERS

THE WORK OF STRANGERS
(Ed Blackwell)
Jeremiad farthest reaches
longest day fevered nightmare
coastal skimmers. He's the one
with the magazine face, lost in the
junkyard and cleaning his gun. It
doesn't take much imagining to
see where this is going.
-
I sat back and wondered -
who played drums for Coltrane?
But as it went, the music played
on. The dimmest orange light had
just broken through the clouds - a
daybreak at some five forty-five a.m. -
and all it was was just behind my left
shoulder in an orange sky of delight and
fire. But now, and that, only for a moment.
-
Jeremiad farthest reaches and
who played drums for Coltrane?
