strides out and
bows to our happy cheers
and takes an iPhone picture of us
jazz begins
it’s all about time
infinite
and these fleeting moments
of never-againness
solos on grand like
glinty sun in
prairie sky
tango for ana
dances the
stage
after an hour he slips off
white linen jacket
getting down to business
“we love to play”
smiles and laughs
drum beats out
three note portal
and we join in journey
to
forever
time tapped out by feet
under piano
playing cross duples and triples
like Winnipeg streets
wipes hands on white towel
before another
spontaneous concerto
moments remembered
in broad outlines by the feelings
that rise like butterflies
wings fluttering in warm breeze
colours blurring in the sun-shaped shadows
a flute floating above
chaotic chords and beats
he is here
now
in the music
and with the people
captured with a quick pic
