The shine of a trumpet
on a last name
Blew a away with you
Hearts and minds
In living color
In a song black woman blue
Mulatto
Sterling girl beaming
Sweet and bedazzled solo
Big and pearly as Pearly Mae
White Gardenia in cold
black tresses of Lady Holiday
Caribbean glamour
Dare imagine Negro woman
Enamored in visions thusly
Movie screen, big band sharp
Chewed and defied of all Jim Crowe
Torched the house down
Blowing Horne and Aretha beget crown
Proud and high yella
Match lit night with drums in flames
Settin off gorgeous spitfire
Now what’s the name?
Glorious and indescribable
Entire brass section filled with Dizzy and Miles
Byrd screaming like sheet music with her title on it
Bathed in stage light
Super fine
Rivaled Ella’s fame
Mulatto woman blew us away
with you in frame
Gleamin like the last Madame
Wind hush and go
Miss her candle
Be subtle with a kind blow
Flicker Lena
Glowin like brass on a last name
