With morning prayers
“Voodoo Child” becomes alive
playing through my head
as a gray cat with yellow eyes
eats from her bowl.

Outside the window
three ravens chatter on bouncing branches
while Jimi hits the notes perfectly.

I thought to myself
“ a mountain into an island”
his hand, the edge.

I look up at the sky,
a guitar becomes a cloud
a sailing guitar pick
becomes sound
delivered to me
by birds and color.

Here in my head
the sky seems to be strings
plucked by his hands.

My mind is contorted
as if I were a vibration
throwing off frets and sound.

When I close my eyes
his fingers are honeybees
feasting on golden fields
and bubbles.

He’s the king of song and jingle
and a harp is now his heart
playing into tomorrow.

There were times when I fortunately knew EXACTLY what he meant by both "chop it down with the edge of my hand", and "Excuse me while I kiss the sky". Once each. I think I almost knew once with "Let the sky blanket you", just not as fully, yet.
