FINALLY! I Found It!!!

Lasgair, mo croidhe!!!

Homage to the Empress of the Blues, in proper quotation
marks, please...

I finally found it after looking for it online all day.

Go and read it. Just go, alright? You don't have to like
it. You have to read it. You just do. I love it...I
love all the ones I posted...

[-content sigh-]

I do this every once in a while, come back to the three or
four contemporary poems that really just have stayed with
me and speak to me...and no, it's no coincidence two are
about jazz...it is a coincidence that the authors are
African-American (though, on the flip side, it's no
coincidence at all b/c had they had different experiences,
they'd not have written the poems, etc., etc., etc., the
same as it is for anyone, so maybe it's not a coincidence
at all???!!!???) - and coming back to them and finding
them is always like coming home to a comfortable bed or a
warm bath or a well-loved bath robe...

These poems aren't "comfortable", necessarily - but the re-
acquainting oneself with them most surely and definitely
is.

Just go read them. Please. GOD THEY MAKE MY SOUL
SING!!! (and moan and cry and plead and catch fire and
despair and, and, and...)

Going to bed with lovely, inspired, creative thoughts in
my head, in just a minute...THANK YOU LANGSTON AND ROBERT
AND FRANK!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENIUS!!!

Yours,
