she’s got this purple flowered dress
and red curtain hangs
draping back wall of Monday night
at Jazz Showcase in Chicago
band surrounds with confident
tight ribbons of sound
and she sings sweet cascades
reddish hair framing young face
smile hinting brilliance
and we recline in the
buoyant
chord
changes
drinking in interplay
as eyes on stage dance
in the flowered purple dress that is jazz
