She waved her hands against the side of the building,
Where the air stood still, like shoulders on mantles of the people passing by.

Gift to the streets,
The heiress of the beauty and the sea,
The sad man sleeping in the alley
Wincing for a smile as she passed him by.

To run that sweet, cool squeeze of Macenroe street,
Men tapping their feet, saxophones whistling,
Blue paint drying as the candles
Gave way to glasses of cognac and merlot along the narrow street

She waved her cool, blonde hair,
To the bay and the storefronts,
The timeless spread of the jazz spade streets,
Macenroe and all those around it,

For she was the crowd, the heat,
The jazz that played like a voice so surreal, the Arabian nights cleared the dust for God to speak.
