THE REVIEW

We sailed absorbed in a conversing.

We examined telescopes, encyclopedias, telescopes, and maps.

We washed ourselves at the source of forgotten umbrellas.

We observed the blooming of a drumming and the boisterous laughter.

Letting ourselves wander in the spinning of fingers and dreams, it was then that we understood:

you hid beneath the hat, iridescent galaxies

and removed every ugliness from the pockets of the world.

Thelonious Monk

Thelonious Monk (1917–1982) was an American jazz pianist and composer, a central figure in the rise of bebop and one of the music’s most distinctive voices. Raised in New York, he forged a percussive, space‑aware piano style and wrote standards such as 'Round Midnight, Blue Monk and Well, You Needn’t. He recorded seminal sessions for Blue Note and Riverside, later for Columbia, and appeared on Time’s cover in 1964.
