Effortless

(after the saxophone of Wayne Escoffery)

Up down scream focused

cold morning twigs bow

to an irreverent breeze

assists now a vibe

that springs through scales

where chords melt through

cold gas

brother stay on that note

up man up

dream sax

red turns yellow

from beat that never was

when beat was cool

now beat just sits

for those who appreciate

a soft pillow for thought

that drives old brass

from new lips

you reed to me sir

from the book of vibration
