One Poem by Moe Seager

 

River Traffic

Through my life I have found place and direction 

Lost time returned 

My deep rooted self culled stoic 

Mercifully rendered, enjoined to a river

Vapors, a mist arisen as ebb to flow

At ease of passage the Seine

Saturates my porous flesh

Quenches my parched thirst  

Satiates neglected need, primal 

Gently lofting I hear 

The opus of Spartacus 

Note and note peeling 

From the feather fluted breaths 

The giving gifted lips of 

Yusef Lateef 

Blessed synchronicity of 

Jazz over sacred waters 

Moe Seager

  

first moment of Sparus, peeled petal and petal frMm the feather tongue and the

kissing lips of Yusef Lateef
