Blue Note Sessions

by Elisabeth Barstowe — Read all 441 poems by Elisabeth Barstowe

This piece is inspired by a painting we have hanging over the piano in our livingromm. It's a picture of Herbie Hancock leaning his head on a piano while hitting keys with one hand. The text over reads 'Herbie Hancock blue note sessions'.

Take a few, pause a bit
lean down, keys are hit.

Nameless feeling
corrode the brain.

Notes are reeling
numb the brain.

Babysteps, one by one
nameless enemy, be gone!

Take a few, pause a bit
lean down, keys are hit.

Slower than a feeling
numb the brain.

Notes are reeling
unbroken chain.
