A Savage Moon

twilight eyes twinkle
look her up there
all high & mighty
humming mellow
melodies
leading me on with a
melodramatic scat
but i won’t see she seducing me
nope
i ain’t none too impressed with
her smokey night time
mystery
she ain’t dare bewildering me
with that glowing trumpet
play
saxxy satin lit against
the blackness of evening
hours
i wouldn’t give two bits
to come running along
at her concierto
juke joint recital
see her roll rounded fingertips
over ivory tickled bones
of my spinal column
nope
i don’t want to hear a word
she got to say
if she were
ella
singing
sarah
singing
billie
singing
lena
singing
dorothy
singing
nina
singing
nothing
she won’t trap me ever again
i know she unfaithful
since before she was
my moon jazz mistress
she used to play my black sky blues
until daylight calmed the tears
