A Painting

The Hammond organ:
wet wide brush,
thick colors. Warm
tones.

Fender P-Bass:
smacks down dark hues,
richer, deeper, rounder
shapes.

Telecaster:
pointillist stinger
chattering spatter
patterns everywhere.

Ludwig kit with
an old Gretsch snare:
possibly, under the paint,
an ancient figure rising?

Let the baritone sax
call it out,
all-dimensioned,
sketching then filling in details.

Remind me, please:
why do we need a singer?
Why frame this work
that already works so well unframed?
