Three Onion Fork

Three Onion Fork

A Poem by Scott Durham
"

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.

Favorite lines:
"Alto Saxophone tears a wound

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