Carpe Diem #221, Hotaru (Firefly)

Bassman Paul Keller with his quintet and big band were regulars at The Firefly Club in Ann Arbor.  Obviously, this is a different venue.

the firefly

erstwhile ann arbor jazz club

now sadly defunct

~ 2 ~

fireflies strobing

with the cool syncopations

on a hot night

~ 3 ~

flying lanterns

help me in my search

for an honest man

~ 3 ~

in the depth of night

with no light but fireflies

illicit lovers

~ 4 ~

in the deep summer

a blinking constellation

for moose and goose

~ 5 ~

orb weaver cares not

for whom the firefly beckons

eats him anyway
