Poesie e Canzoni D'Amore Canzoni e poesie d’amore Quando non sono io a scrivere Ma una entità distratta che vorrebbe essere cose Che vorresti essere a fronte di tutto? Un miliare o una briciola? Certo, la domanda è malposta. Forse porcellana e rossa carne umidiccia? Forse una voce che si fa carico dell’universo E poi si frange come una risata sull’interrogativo? Vedi questa cosa carnale che chiamiamo alberi Sotto la frusta della neve e te ne gratifichi Come se fosse una emozione. Che vuol dire? Perché se ci pensi sei allegro anche in punto di morte? C’è competizione in tutto ma quasi mai nella resa. Ci pensi mai? Siediti al sole, diceva, abdica! Sii il re di te stesso! Diceva Pessoa… E poi fatti una rivoluzione. E ricomincia da capo con le contraddizioni, le vigliaccherie con i fallimenti e tutte quelle cose là… Leggi altro su ⚡🔞🤟michelecristianoaulicino.com #michelecristianoaulicino #bibappalula #poesia #reding #winepoetry #jazzpoetry #jazzy #poems #basilicata #toscana #pisa #marsiconuovo #napoli (presso Marsico Nuovo) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn8-3SFr4eL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Record 2393. #GillScottHeron #FreeWill 1972 studio album by soul jazz singer poet spoken word activist and Hip Hop prototype, the legendary Gill Scott-Herron. My friends and I were lucky enough to see him perform, and even got to speak to him and shake his hand when we were waiting on the corner to see the show, and he just appeared out of nowhere. #souljazz #jazz #jazzpoetry #protorap #soul #funk #vinyl #records #nowspinning #vinyljunkie #recordcollection #vinyligclub https://www.instagram.com/p/CJfWNN4s_96/?igshid=kxbh4jdocmp9

We acknowledge the great Gil-Scott Heron on what would’ve been his 73rd birthday. He was a friend of Roy Ayers, and Roy spoke highly of and had the utmost respect for Gil. Today, we are sharing posts from Gil’s long time bandmate, friend, and brother from another mother Brian Jackson’s Instagram (@brian__jackson) account, who in his previous posts told some untold stories and fun facts about recording with Gil. While there will never be another Gil-Scott Heron, we are thankful that there are those still with us who can tell first hand stories about him and who he was. Thank you Brian Jackson for telling these stories, and please do yourself a favor by spending time this weekend listening to Gil’s catalog. You can do so by visiting the link in our bio.

Public Radio Plays Eddie Harris

Clouds stand in protest of morning.

I wonder should I cross this picket-line sky and go to work.

The 70 bus stood me up for our 8:32am date.

Headlines say I voted for a man who cheated on his wife.

By 2:00pm by body is at war with a virus.

I am now blue fire.

My throat is lined with cactus.

There was no mention of this in the morning paper.

I crawl back home to my room; my bedsheets are cold.

At 10:00pm a call of bad news from my family:

Something about a car and my brother.

Doctors say he may never dance again.

This chord of bad news accompanies today’s riff.

Folks have gone on strike in heaven.

Sweat pours off the shoulders of the night.

No need for liquids and drugs, I’m already dead.

If WPFW FM can’t resurrect me, Lazarus was a liar.

Thank God, they’re playing Eddie Harris.

I have friends who are atheists.

I have ammunition for our next argument:

They play four Eddie Harris tunes in a row!

Faith healers are tuning in.

I’m all but cured when they make the announcement:

Eddie Harris died today.

Thoughts tornado over my bed.

It pirouettes over the city with hips like my mama’s.

Eddie always said there’s no such thing as a wrong note,

Only bad connections to the next.

I put the alarm clock under the sheets.

In the morning it will sound like music.

-- A Van. Jordan, published in Rise (2001, Tia Chucha)
