Blue Haze
by Luis Garcia
Blue Haze
for Miles Davis
Small songs
fill silence adequately,
he said:
and a blue haze
becomes a path
leading to a forest
filled with the music
of blue ways,
and the music
becomes a path
leading to a place
where a shirt of blue sky
is being worn
by a summer afternoon’s end,
and a shirt of sunshine
is being worn
by the warm feather–gray body
of the wind.
Small songs
fill silence adequately,
he said.
