Nocturne [ From Her Poems for Azimuth after Hearing Clare Hansson’s Jazz Composition Breathe Through Ivory (from Azimuth) ] — Bet Briggs Copyright
	Heard late in solitude in the cathedral of night a serene concord: on ivory an elegy of bells, from strings long drawn by the bow: warm, vibrant tones, deep as the dark: this gentle nocturne falls like a benediction on my aching heart.
