Three Onion Fork

Jazz nightmares, Bar-tending prowess and a recipe for wasted karma.

High notes in a scramble

racing for the upper register

Alto Saxophone tears a wound

purchased in melodious, yet malodorous quandary

Does the player know where he is going?

How does he know Veronica's steps?

Long before the plug and play

a collision of restraint pollutes

Disfigures reason within our safety

the log rolls and I do not move

A Martini and its garnish:

a long fork beholds the onions

 that succeed in remedy;

Now fortune can resume unhindered.

I confess that Martinis are an alien beast to me, viewed only on a screen. However it's cousins I've met, and have been bested. You conveyed the music I love, very well. Sometimes wondering as it pauses in repetition, if it has lost its nerve. Thanks.

This was eloquently written. Very nice job! (Also, the picture was perfect for this piece).
