Musings

He's done it again. Not just taken the leap of faith, but written an oscne amount of new material. I think we can now officially move Jaz fromt he "muse in waiting" to "major muse" category. Or...can we?


Musings

A used and worn frame is, of a fashion,
inappropriate for a worthy queen
to a throne I've known
to be sometimes
oft-times
more than once
held by a pretender.
Let me surrender
not a shadow of a city
but a living, breathing thing.
Where truths are apparent
and the shadow dancers
get to wear their shiny silk and satin costumes
as they dance their feasts
of joy and hopeful abandon
on the streets paved
with worthy kisses.
