The Sabbath (Jewel and Main) by Lepadah

Photo

The sun burn down into the resting arms of night
lights off; are clicking on
settling scene Scorsese, De Niro joint
eye of storm succumb
restless youth appear from nowhere
baby vampires snipping dead eyesThe sun burn down into the resting arms of night
lights off; are now on
settling scene Scorsese, De Niro joint
eye of storm is over
restless youth appear from  darken dust 
anonymous vampires snipping dead eyes listening to musical overtures
save aged stories
re-told, written scripts a new Capote
Owl wise to let the fruited ripen
as the Sabbath evening unfurled its wings
expose and pull to remember one's autumn of life
the Van Gogh "Starry Night" the patina essence of being a teen
Interacted play of Sinatra "The Good Life"
fidora adjust, drawing back convertible top vintage mustang
croon to lovebird's gang up the front of seven-eleven
reminisce real soda shops
now only Eddie's on Metropolitan , the hang spot
by-gone days of malted, floats, splits and egg cream
now just slurpy machine, tacos, hot dogs to go
I a silhouette outlining the amour blackness of knight  
a  lone lamp emulating dimly lit echoes of "we love you Johnny..." 
pyramid whips ,  cacophony of teenage girls on Main street
Franks blue eye voice fade  up under Mustang roar
burn rubber exhaling fumes of machismo
It's passing of Sabbath ...
as I soft shoe ; slow footing into the headlights of the 65
exodus from one awakening to another. 
quick step uptown to Bill's Place  the birth of black and brown
neo sounds played a different way
snapshots of Sugar Babes  that speak easy
to please me with baritone  and alto saxophones
brass snakes inurn snoot places to seduce, skip into spaces with erratic off time on purpose perfect syncopation
mending frantic improvisation with voluminous waves rolling through the underbelly of a torture soul
needing satisfaction
manipulating the bleeding life's helix tirades, censure & merciless weeding out blithsome pores
one's mental symbol
to remember . . . 

how good ... Autumn  of life

"The Good Life"
