Saxophone by Sheri
Hanging low fingers do universal sign
of peace
standing with a sound of black eraser
over white noise
it's Charlie Brown's teacher giving us
notes of encouragement
make it hum in tune with whatever brass
knuckles they bring
up and down the punch to the gut a hard
ache identified
a deep opening when the body is carried
through on strong knees
rolling the night up with zipping lips
this muffle of clouds
and holding out for the power of trains
opening over the land
like thunder we use to play it like a
God play it like a wash
of waves and sharpened tools gone
smooth as body drop in silk
