GROOVE

 

In a groove when a lone goddess

high-beams her dental-whiteness

and vibrates a cosmic throat chord

like a string of lights across a jump joint,

 

love and death's gnawing timber moves

unheard, sub-vocalized along the wires.

 

Neither blood-seed nor flood and fever of beer

holds a guy back from night's awesome pleasures,

cruising his paradise of rock-joints,

looking three-fold weird, a little bit jived,

a couple of soft-lipped babes, one on each arm.

 

Dancing flower late and dove driven,

night's gush of soul-milk and fly-fury kicks up

infectious molecules of groove moisture,

eddies of mist that fog musicians eyes and noses,

medicate the minds and fingers, eye to hand electric

 

till the all too soft-lipped Charm, the milkiest one,

the wave-drunken moon-babe, wavering,

falls up in the stage, overcome by saxophone love

as her lime-green neon underwear unexpectedly

peeks out from a slice of her devil-blue dress.

 

Star fall mama, rising in thigh-vertical air,

real flesh touching in a stretch of symbol dancing,

no groove too thin, too small, or too Milky Way huge

for the all-evening sanctified spirit-bound dance 

that hangs in the every-night, up-town whirl of love.
