If you only knew

Christmas eve 2007
word of Oscar Peterson
suddenly his notes wave
black & whites, he's signaling
goodbye. He made it. The moment
his breath stopped our consciousness
began to unstill his
hands, renimble his fingers and
one last time
a big man coaxes
bitter sweetness fresh
from his keys. He made
it.

I'm sure he's...

...mumbling along with his fingers up in heaven. Cheers, Oscar. You were one of the greats!
