Did I dream of Ornette Coleman?
I did my best to dream the right things,
I did the best dreaming,
For the sake of others.
Do you know that sometimes I play the violin?
I am not a singular omen.
My instruments keen and cry.
Enjoying improvisation.
I am inside the places that others will never go.
In my elevator of sound,
I move all the way through your life.
Even though I am slightly out of tune,
A certain discordance is a celestial dawn.
I dance in your head.
You have flowers in your sunshine.
You are a carnival,
My songs will weave in your hair.
I do not know the reason.
Cherry, Haden and Higgins,
Yes, another Portrait of the Artist.
Lillian Gish is here too,
Her face a droplet of purity,
Her tiny hand a hunger on me.
What reason could I give?
Only that I felt the power,
Moving sound,
My notes are malleable and strange.
I am put on loop.
Playing forever.
My instruments keen and cry.
Enjoying improvisation.
I am inside the places that others will never go.
In my elevator of sound,
I move all the way through your life.
