Night Blues

The wind
was a tight-stringed seventh
shredding the night.
It tore the anguished leaves
from fragile branches,
Swept the rain across black streets
in undulating waves
like the riffs of a blues guitar.
It played her drenched soul
like a Slowhand in its bass line.


"Every time you pick up your guitar to play, play as if it's the last time." ~ Eric Clapton
