Poem for an April Moon

Musical language,

Coloring, coloring,

Tinting and stoking and simmering,

Too.

Musical life,

Testing, testing,

Tempting and scorching then cooling,

Too.

Musical love,

Finding and finding,

Losing and finding

Holding and hoping

And working it working it -

Love is that

Elusive

Riff

Found and Finally,

Kept.
