Kind of Blue
[Listening to Miles ]

Feelin’ Kind of Blue.

Improvised textures,
made in heaven,
escape elucidation
and drift off
into the ethereal.

A cool melancholy
hovers, melodic,
creating a touch
of ineffable beauty.

Paring away
all embellishments,
we reach Jazz freedom —

the painful simplicity
of a single note.
