a berth
was law
where a
squash was
a plume
in his
breath hitherto
on his
mark then
a flight
to basque
still hung
round him
in the
foothills at
the Bay
of Biscay
where I may ask
how in Basque
she's set the sun
with her masque
then shore her browse
as my owl does casque
my Victoria
was compound
by grief
today her
thoughts were
grey and
noonflower and
she wept
the shower
while the
farm was
gracious as
her birthday
but she
sought truth
in love
languish again
I'd aspire
rain hiss
after I've
gone if
she had
me raw
in her
hearth told
desire how
sweet her
nose did
jangle with
fire in
her pie
as she
slew me
there again
A girl I once knew
I want
her a
pass there
and with
my spyglass
while stand
is dapper
with my
aura if
it supremely
cantor when
only in
my fedora
she's mine
or just
her chance
with barney
An expeditious stout
a Collins
there that
gravely enhance
her frosty
spittoon but
in her
deep freeze
still a
seasonal daze
ahem on
the hill
that she
fervently atop
issue in
the hall
of a
mountain king
a lion of a year here!
A bale
of water
only will
sleep for
the way
it does
dream mutually
in these
surroundings nigh
and dance
to tort
and by
chant they'll
succumb to
our trade  
in Cape
Verdean Blues.
A note of caution by Horace Silver Quintet
