Yesterday he saw a
Hummingbird sitting in air
Sipping from its ixora sunshine slush
of sweetness –
Listening to “East of the River Nile”
Augustus harmonica bathed in
Rock stone sun light on the CD cover
These visions of “jah light” on his headphones
Tune his eyes and ears to
Wind of Augustus transposed on red oriole’s wings
Against willow tree
Where he imagines a poem set to
the “nature dub”
and transcribes its lines
to sail this bass odyssey home
