For McCoy Tyner, RIP

Oh, McCoy

Is the universe smaller
infinity larger
time a dimension after music
Coltrane said he flew from the bed you laid
musical flowers petals in the pond of life
you said
life is music music life
without music life a mistake
Nietzsche said
McCoy spirit man
were you the ghost of
A Love Supreme
You and John
Philly men
North Carolina men
church jazz
flying high above temples of the mind
searching deep life's conundrums
all is music
music is all
Thank you McCoy
magic fingers of Love Supreme
--Marvin X

Mr. Tyner, who first attracted wide notice as a member of John Coltrane’s groundbreaking quartet, influenced virtually every pianist in jazz.
