In the moment, neon hums on the edge of the keys,
saxophone moonlight drips across my wrists like warm rain;
yesterday’s worries fold into a minor seventh,
tomorrow’s promises ride the kick-drum pulse.
Close your eyes, let the bass line carry the weight,
every heartbeat a hi-hat spark in velvet dark.
We are vinyl spinning silver,
grooves of now too deep to skip—
breathe the chord, taste the reverb,
tonight is a repeat button pressed by starlight.
