Solo Interval MAG
January 15, 2015
In the silver trumpet
mute
an iridescent reflection
of the galaxy
gleams.
The body
of the horn
is like sun
shining through stained
glass.
The player
sweats
hues of blues and reds
as he blows
the blues.
Silence
Is the only
sound
that follows
the soft
buzzes
of the solo interval
Like the Friday nights
in the bass-filled bars,
eyes barely open,
watching the patrons
cut the rug;
I feel the bass
pluck,
the snares
sizzle.
I haven’t a care in the world,
watching the solo interval.
