Decatur Street Painting by kenne (2007)

The House That Leans to Jazz

That old house on Decatur—
it doesn’t stand, it sways.

The shutters keep time with the sax
that drifts up from the corner bar,
and the porch boards hum
when the bass walks slow.

You can feel the brick loosen,
just enough to breathe,
just enough to remember
what it meant to move with grace.

There’s a trumpet caught in the rafters,
a whisper of silk on the banister,
and the ghosts of every hot night
press their hands to the walls
like lovers keeping rhythm.

The house leans—not from age,
but from music—
as if the whole damn structure
had learned
how to swing.

Jackson Square Window — Photo-Artistry by kenne

Over the last forty years, Joy and I have spent many days in one of our favorite cities, New Orleans. 
In this image, she looks away because she is not feeling well, so we stop for a bite to eat.
Looking back on this moment, it was probably not the best time for me to photograph her.
