for cecil taylor
(1929 --
roiling clusters of ringing chords
& a sharply percussive attack rewards
yr ever faithful band of devotees.
with an intense, galvanic tease
of freedom, a spirit reach towards
moksha, past the thrall of keyboards,
chord changes & tempo; affords
an ephemeral grasp of totality
at vision’s embrace.
uncompromising creator, yr poetic words
reinvent the free when the last accords
of yr tone poems play, decay, release
the dance & plaintive echoes cease
at vision’s embrace.
