America
in 1964 the door opens
to white and square and God
help those who don't fit there
God help the man with a horn
and a dream turned to night
spiked in the arm blue in the
soul the vein gut weary blue
of bars and jails the world
of lamentation in measured
bleat the swoop the timbre
like singing loss is everywhere
longing for a night in Tunisia
in Paris, Copenhagen a man
can be a man a song
can have a voice.
