NEW ORLEANS SLOW DANCE . . . AFTER GEORGE WINSTON by Erren Geraud Kelly she sits there, molly ringwald's doppelganger but i picture us walking down bourbon street far from the party, the streetlights forshadowing the adventure to come her hair like fire, skin like milk we walk hand in hand as the dawn greets us we walk by buildings as a piano speaks for her and you would spin around and your sneakers transformed into ruby slippers "home is where you make it..." you say i twirl you around and i find home |

SOLO
by Andy Roberts When I'm feeling good in my head what I'm really doing is my own version of Lester Young's solo in Billie Holiday's Fine And Mellow. It's the second solo, after Ben Webster's, and it's what I've been after my whole life. Because I'll never be able to sing like Billie Holiday. Nobody can. But mere mortals can approach Lester Young. The Prez and Lady Day in 1957. I've always lived in the past. A cave in my brain behind a little waterfall where I accompany myself on endless variations of Fine And Mellow. |
OAXACA AT NIGHT by Ruben Briseno Reveles |

by Katherine Brittain I love to watch you dance the Via Negativa; Watch you prance around in scenes interior. I would love to join you in feeling superior, Pues, Aiy! Donde esta mi Diva? Aiy! I want to dance with you, the Via Negativa! But my Diva left for Ottawa. Is it possible to say you saw Me dance the Via Positiva? No? Well, then; If we're to dance together, the Via Negativa, As soul mates knowing where we are going; Then the arrival not to where we are going Es en los manos de su Diva. Author's Note: Via Negativa means negative way, and Diva means goddess. |
