This poem to deal with

a crescendo in blue

has to be written as a ballad

for love that had ended at a

conceiving state

before it had begun to rise up

from the fertile ground

where it had been planted by

the Ellington Band

into the musical soul of the poet

interpreted for things to come.

In softness of harmonies

the music is far advanced

like a prophecy for events

that may still arrive.

It has been understood by

translators of English into Chinese

so access to the unique world

of artists will be guaranteed.

Hand in hand.

Face to face.

Eye to eye.

Skin-tight interhuman tensions

of good vibes in love.
