    Hy, Motel de Moka. I love your playlists…
    But, what made me write this reply is the song from Davis & Coltrane, Round Midnight. In my opinion, this song is one of the most sensual jazz pieces I have ever heard… It simply blows my mind…

    Thanks,

The song makes its imprint
in the air, making itself felt,
a felt world. Here, there,
the stunned silence

of knowing I will not remember
what I heard;

futures that will never happen,
a fluidity we cannot achieve
except as a child
creating possibility.

This is the untranslatable song
hidden in the earth.
