a double acrostic for the Writer's Cramp...for Billie Holiday
LADY DAY

Like her gardenias, she was lush and full,
a voice, so smooth and waxy, a many petalled idea
densely held and coiled
yearning to fly,
dragging a third blue note behind
abundant with musical manna.
Yet a life parched and hungry.
