Delhi is afire
with jazz after dark.
The heat surges in waves
over notes of primal teetering
of foreign mayhem.
The beat skips in rhythms
of moons dancing with comets.
It is bass players harmonic
hum that is purring his vibrations
to the stunned crowd.
Starved for real jazz.
Starved for a cold drink.
They dribble sweat drops in
their lonely drinks as
apocalyptic surges streak
through their strenuous struggling
bodies.
The drum’s seismic
surges urges the soul to differentiate
the clouds.
The twinkling of hazy eyes
the smoke twiddles in the circulating air.
It is filled with cathartic screams
of human bondage set free.
The rescued folk sit quietly.
Suddenly.
Their little toe tappity taps in unison
with the bass.
Their lower calves rippity rip through their
polyester straps.
Their tiny fingers snappity snapping to the
joyful rappity rap of the drums.
