Swing minor mode

Lorenz

Like a broken brain  

three notes dancing 

on a crazy guitar  

that tells stories of wandering ...

A crippled hand plays prophetic 

  accords that make disjointed

skeletons in evening dress jiggle...

Aquarius disbudded children ,

  chase  happiness 

in the Buddha's equivocal smile ,

we'll offer them  the moon ,

 swing minor mode ...

I wake up at 3.a.m ,

the green fairy kiss 

cold earth flesh 

the herd is still asleep ,

in my head a wild melody

tears through my bipolar dream...

At dawn Django gets out

of the jazz  box  ,it's  raining 

on life, travel  and emptiness ,

devastated  nest and  mess ,

 cracked mirror,stolen memory ,

score in form  of testament ...

"Au revoir jolie madame ! ''

Swing minor  mood ...
