Ghazal number 6. It is in no way traditional. The couplets are loosely connected via theme. This time, it’s jazz.

divine daughter speaks in dark blue accents ebony her consonants her vowels of silver gilt hallowed lady of the moon low tones of satinwood she breathes of love of sorrow timeless daylight tenor sax that shoots a golden stream into her tired veins and carries her – immortal – to her lonely tomb * * * First line from Kamau Daáood's “Deep River in Her Voice” in "The Language of Saxophones" (2005)
"Divine Daughter Speaks".
From a sequence, "Pocket Lights", each starting with the first line of a poem from a City Lights "Pocket Poets" volumes

It’s quarter to twelve; the moon must be high — a silver-blue crescent, her back to the city. But we can’t see her through the windows of the club, painted black ... painted shut. The band is tired but blowing pretty; the alto’s frantic, the piano’s sly. And the drums strike twelve, though we take it on trust; the clock above the bar’s long stopped. The piano player’s dancing (if that’s what you call it): head down, arms out, shoes shuffle soft. And the bass like the engine room of some blue-riband liner thrums through the waves of acrid smoke. Up past the ceiling somewhere in the city, somewhere there’s a church clock: quarter past twelve. The tables are vibrating to the rhythm of arrhythmia; the band blows skittish, blows hot, blows on...
"'Round a Monastery Garden".

Directly 15 blocks north from our front door is the site of Langston Hughes (1901-1967) childhood home in Lawrence, Kansas with his grandmother, Mary Langston. He lived here until he was 13 yo. (Only the site- original house was demolished.)

"Well now I am a black man
And though I still go second-class
Whereas once I wanted the white man's love
Now he can kiss my ass..."

a soulful digital portrait of Langston Hughes, his face shaped by bold chiaroscuro strokes and warm bronze hues, eyes alive with melody and memory, background layered with abstracted city skylines, faded jazz notes, and faint typewritten lines, suit rendered in rhythmic patterns like sheet music, subtle collage of Harlem streets embedded in the shadows, lighting evoking golden hour through smoky windows, asymmetrical framing capturing the syncopation of his verse
Langston Hughes (1901–1967) was a pioneering poet, playwright, and essayist of the Harlem Renaissance. His work celebrated the lives, struggles, and dreams of Black Americans with clarity, rhythm, and heart. Known for blending jazz cadences with powerful social commentary, Hughes gave poetic form to the voices of everyday people, making him one of the most influential literary figures of the 20th century.
