how does the symbolic description of music affect the poem's meaning?
it suggests that the speaker does not literally hear the music, but only imagines it.
it shows that the sky, music, and human beings are basically one and the same.
it expresses the speaker's discovery of joy in what he had thought was a dismal universe.
it implies that the saxophone player is an angelic being sent to heal the speaker's spirit.
man it was a dead-air day—
the soundproof sky pressing its gray padding onto my head
the bare silver trees were flutes no one’s fingers played
and i remembered it was the shortest day of the year.
i muted my brain through an echoless tunnel—
then the hill crest launched a sky tune
on the ridge a whiskered saxophone man in a cloud-black coat
leaned back
tossed bebop notes, rang the bell of his gold horn—
they swirled kicked curled poured
like steam breaking free
like time looping loops—
i rose spinning among them
shedding pink blue orange gold
sparks like a roman candle
and sound-painted all the land
the silver trees tootled counterpoint
the hills streamed chorus after chorus
the old man nodded lipped tongued spit
head rolling
cheeks blowing
waist wrenching
fingers racing
grin cracking the airwaves
i was the tune.
