as the sax lifted up
into a solo
the bird lifted up
to the tip
of the tallest tree
swayed there stayed there
as dusk settled in
& that saxophone
wove notes into
a blanket of sound
calling us in
that bird beyond the window
preened & shifted
calling us out
[PJ Perry is a great Canadian alto sax player whom we heard with his trio last night at a local small venue]
