Ph., G.AdC BLUES AGAIN Lying in bed, waiting for sleep or something entirely different to come up, I heard a whimper in the tick tock blue and dipped into a distance sky blue and far from this room with its eight bar blues and the tick tock again of the clock with your voice going out the door. The weight of these sounds still bears the color of water under a blue dome and I am alone with a twelve bar blues love having fled its comfort; lying in bed now, sweating blue bullets as in paint ball — a splatter to the skull, my eyes closed, my ears dimmed; the keenness of sleep is yard away blinking, darting fitfully into a blue day. Barry Wallenstein, “4. Jazz”, in Drastic Dislocations, New and Selected Poems, New York Quarterly Books, New York, NY 10113, 2012, p. 207.
