O JAZZ-SCENTED MIDNIGHT

"O Jazz-Scented Midnight," Montana BLACK spray paint, art marker, and iridescent calligraphy ink on 4" x 6" watercolor postcard.

One of the cards I sent out as part of my "O Eschaton" series of poems for the 2021 Poetry Postcard Fest.

O JAZZ-SCENTED MIDNIGHT

O Jazz-Scented Midnight
with warm waves of your hair

cascading over my half-slumber
as you shift scale and tempo—

I embrace your sax-squawk
unlike the thousand unwelcomed

paper cut changes of each
day to day grind—

for here in the soft night dream
is artistry improv heartbeat hope.
