can you capture
the spirit of the blues
in a word?
is it possible
to distil
like whisky
aged in oak barrels
a single word
a gilt-edged malt
that captures
that spirit?
does “blue”
educe what I feel
or merely muddy
the waters?
a word of grouse
not of talisker
can you capture
the spirit of the blues
in a word?
