The Blue Monk – in the memory of Thelonious Sphere Monk

the monk softly touches a dusty piano
no chords around but all in one

he’s a sort of big brother
with Charlie “the bird”

the rhythm shakes our heads dramatically fast
and he hits with the wooden-like foot
the frightened floor

the hip manner shows a heart pumping the jazz
instead of the viscous blood
up to the hat

bebop is home again
but now it wears a hard rusty coat
