Yusef's blood

To create anything

you need

a deep abiding love

of the sound of man

making poetry

from air

Comprehend the drive,

the need to shape the natural world

to our design

sculpt breath and will and

sex into acoustic control

god’s gift and man’s mind

melding together into momentary reality

fixed in that instant of creativity

forever

and fleetingly

in the left brain of those present

Musicians spitting gold

coins from under their tongues like

greek kings in the maestro box

No wonder Apollo was

the Archer
