“Hot Licks” by: Rob Kistner © 2007
torchin’
in the zone
burnin’ chops
flamin’ righteous
primo riffin’
shreddin’ sacred
glorified ‘n sanctified
fused
bruised
and overused
our axes jumpin’
power pumpin’
entire joint
was thunder thumpin’
licks was rollin’
fingers swollen
we’s all lubed ‘n locked
‘n strike’n light’nin
we was cookin’
skirts was lookin’
smokin’ hot
‘n on the trot
shakin’ bakin’
out for makin’
scene was flippin’
cra’cra’crazy
off the hinge
to the fringe
hot slammin’
jammin’
vibe was goovy
skins was raucous
reeds was rippin’
playa’s trippin’
sanity slippin’
blood ‘n bone on broken tusk
brass ‘n balls to the bell-tone edge
soul elation
elevation
cruzin’ smooooooth
to devastation
upright
‘n bottom tight
we wrecked the house
this velvet night
