broken embouchure

broken embouchure

broken embouchure

 

 

warped certified gold hangs over the shoulder,

                                blue on the wall,

               notes on the trane.

terse sayings run the lazy bird line,

                            topping the vinyl list,

                   dripping sweet aphorisms

                         at the five spot.

life is short, art is long! clinging to the overture,

                    in eleven dimensional drift,

                bubble notation                      

flows through the shape of the instrument,

     as feathery as the legs of champagne

          rising to the surface, breaking.

                  parse lingers vibrating the flesh.

 

blind fingers on the curvature,

-face up -trace up

                 ...end in a glass of broken embouchure.

 

 

contorted adinkras join in at the blue bottle,

                         twist a knife through the cheek

                                     ragged petite fleur.

a yellow flower drops its petals

                      then turns into a spiky seed,

               variegated and sentimental.

settling down to meet up at forty four,

                dueling a royal abstract truth overture

from the back of the house,

               subspace spitting seeds -bosonic -fermionic

                       in the prose of code.

         puckered up for the kiss,

tongue rolled handing it off to polyphonic,

             farkas blows to cool the soup.

the buzz began from one whom i shall not name,

                  even and odd on the bars of a superstring.

                               

blind fingers on the curvature,

-speed up -slow down

                ...end in the sound of broken embouchure

 

 

little filaments play in the space

                 genetically coded for symmetry,

                              hit with a jazz break

written in deep error correcting,

                humans must continue in the naming.

it from bits and black holes from wheeler,

                 inception invented and discovered,

artifacts of cognition.

this could be unreasonable effectiveness...

                     because we are all born baffled.

stacked adinkras fall like tumblers in a lock.

                mountaintop of clarity

                                  tied to a rainforest of chaos,

listen for entanglement.

    playing the jazz matrix past the overture,

                  begging to become

                            knowing heads,

             lusting after dumb luck, wasting in contrafact.

                      beings punch three quarks

embodied from the mouth of joyce

             all play alongside tattoo marked flesh.

                            

blind finger on the curvature

-speak up -down beat

...end in the brass of broken embouchure               

 

imagining knowledge alive

                       adrift without music

                 in a desolate vacuum, lunar

totality must be impossible when every planet hums.

                         breaking through interstellar jupiter

each player plays a self referencing piece,

               begging to name beast after beast.

                                 the connoisseur

                     in a constant dialogue with nature

          and its patience.

fresh from a blood moon

                        heading to crescent,

                            spilling troubles like ancient punctuation,

falsifying the image resonance in a range of uncertainty,

                 choosing to remain mute on things unmeasurable,

caught in the spin of transience,  

                   adrift in the cure of the overture,

we saw what we looked for.

                       encore binary code collapse

in four measures, three times

                       drop head into triple tag, put it to bed.

 

blind fingers on the curvature

-heavy -steady

-expanding -collapsing

                   -drop flat                                    

              ...end in broken embouchure
