Like a Jazzman Does

by Steven Craig Hickman 

​You can’t write poetry
you put it down in words like a jazzman does

you sink your ears
into sound

float along
…………….till it’s all around

wander through its winds

………………..its leaves
till the night mind
takes you

……………….on down
………………………….down
…………………..down

then you slide back round
touch another scale
……………………………lift that sound up onto those clouds

then you put them notes down
for yourself and hope and pray they play them
​
………………………..like a jazzman does
