The blues resolution


I attended the blues resolution in the apartment above the chemist
A guitar playing, a harmonica breathing, in time to a devils riff,
cigar smoking, filling the room with intensity,
the notes, suicidal, the body of life released and stiff.
Mississippi piping, fiddle dancing on a little lover girl
she danced on a double whisky glass absurd
we glanced at each other, across a crowded bar room brawl
they hit each other in the face, a break neck speed, a mind disturbed.
The tense anxiety, a beard growing, twenty thousand a minute sweat on a shirt
new orleans a crying in a regrettable anxiety.
pick the chords, pluck the cotton, in a life time flirt
for the love of a masculine harmony be to see.
she smiled at me
with crayons coloured on a neanderthals picture book
a breakfast tune on a recorders smile
we lived, we dalliance, we chose each other
we ran, we sprinted, a meter. a mile.
I attended the blues resolution
in the apartment above the drug covered street
insanity above the chemist, denied a chance of a sunset blossom
we hid as children, in the thorough covered blouse obsolete.
I craved into blushing cheeks, a hundred miles away
a tense anxiety, a dance so resolute, a double tapped knuckle
we craved this resolution the end of the sunset dimming day.
And the only thing a dancer dreams, is a perfect part of the morning
a homeless man cries, with his heart entangled in two
the subway dreams adorning.and released
the obsolete is covered in blue.
My mind is a tether entangled
my heart is a loss, within a breathing obsessed
we hope within a writers absolution
depressed, determined, distressed.
