In Memoriam John Coltrain - Michael Stillman
Listen to the coal
rolling, rolling through the cold
steady rain, wheel on
wheel, listen to the
turning of the wheels this night
black as coal dust, steel
on steel, listen to
the cars carry coal, listen
to the coal train roll
First of all. Gorgeous. Second of all, each stanza is actually a haiku. Genius.
