The Arch Duke… Read the Entire Post, enjoy line by line…so powerful!!
like a lot of great Jazz dives
the Duke could only be found at night
by those who had the right vibes
the men and women inside
sat with their eyes closed
swaying to the beat
their hearts reaching for the sounds
as dancers stood in place on the floor
their arms around each other
trying to hold back their pasts
as well as their tomorrows
and the sax played on
calling to lost souls
taking away their pain
the Duke
was better than any church
where god was in the notes
and people left their sins behind
and confessed to the night
doing penance with shot glasses
hoping for a better tomorrow
