a warm february evening south of the mason-dixon line

her ears grip air jazz-thick with john coltrane
the winter sun so summer hot today
the trees are fooled to bloom a pink refrain

the pale of blossom breaks dark winter's reign
her eyes flip yellowed page of some soirée
her ears grip air jazz-thick with john coltrane

the story turns on lovers dull bored pain
the moment spins as saxophone sachets
the trees are fooled to bloom a pink refrain

her body, lithe with dreams of sun sustained
the porch swing sings, past february's domain
her ears grip air jazz-thick with john coltrane

a page turned before it's time again
as heaven's music leads her mind away
the trees are fooled to bloom a pink refrain

too soon cool moon with stars will so ordain
night's heartless frost. A summer can not stay
her ears grip air jazz-thick with john coltrane
the trees are fooled to bloom a pink refrain
