Yelped from the
Crabshell Ashcan orchestra,
When the usual feral Cats,
Finding Fedora hats,
Humidor boxes and empty bindles of blow-
Well, you could always count on Louis,
He slid those red cedar shingles under his chin
And in no time, shoulders sweltered and all
Embrace, lit by this fire-the mercy of the flame the focus of the eye-seeing each other.
over and over.

This is my favorite part:
Embrace, lit by this fire-the mercy of the flame the focus of the eye-seeing each other.
over and over.
and the jazz part is very good, too. I didn't know about the red shingles. I thought it meant a roof. Woopsy.
Love entering through the eyes and finding a home in the heart sounds like Henry Miller. :)

Love seems to enter thru the eye and find a home in the heart, and fires cast such clear light for such transmission, like a crankshaft that turns the wheels which turn the crankshaft.
thats the muddled reference Tath.
Warm thanks for all comment and critique.
Truly.
