coltrane skies from NOMAD by Girl Named Nino

“I’m on an island, in the middle of Midwest
as the traffic crosses, moving North & East, South & West
and I am sitting here, uncovering the covers,
and layer by layer the locomotive heavens come undone”

“Lately my senses are knocking harder and harder
and the ubiquitous winds blow
into the waters I am stepping brother
learning from stillness when stillness calls”

“The sky in Bahia is the same Sky that’s looking over my old Tiflis town
& the sky that is loving on Parisians, is the same old sky that’s smiling on Chi-town”

“I read that Abby Lincoln used to keep little scribbles of paper around her place with thoughts she’d used to retrace-the trajectory of evolution
from the muses to the artist-to the universal notions”

“if you don’t hear what the Spirit tells you,
when you are unready the message escapes you
You’ve got to serve your gifts the best you can
So get to working on sifting through the sand”

“So when you find yourself in trenches,
digging through the skeletons that you’ve left unattended
with shamanic death as your sole solution
remember forgiveness needs a deeper resolution”

“The sky in Bahia is the same Sky that’s looking over my old Tiflis town
& the sky that is loving on Parisians, is the same old sky that’s smiling on Chi-town”


“I’m on an island, in the middle of Midwest
as the traffic crosses, moving North & East, South &West
and I am sitting here, uncovering the covers,
and layer by layer the locomotive heavens come undone”

“Come Undone”

“The sky in Bahia is the same Sky that’s looking over my old Tiflis town
& the sky that is loving on Parisians, is the same old sky that’s smiling on Chi-town”
