jazz music and trumpets
and pretty girls swaying
to music.
holding hands while
the kids played on swingsets,
lovers smiled as
the early summer concert
soothed nerves, and
Jen even forgot tomorrow,
the serving of papers,
the confrontations necessary

Jack, light-hearted
and romantic, teased

and swung the kids wildly
in the night air.
so much laughter,
school would be
out for the summer,
cicadas humming soon.
In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
