Monk I ("Bluesology" collection)

a black shape
in a glowing red corner
slow burning fire
fire heat and perspiration
broken tunes
strung together on piano wire

The Hat
the hat plays the piano
the hat hammers flat
the iron tunes
on the anvil eighty-eights

    I haven't read much poetry like this and I really enjoyed it. I love the part about the hat and the comparisons.
