Melody, Rhythm and Music

My toes are curled
My feet rock forth and back
My hands are busy
they tap and clap

That a piano should course
cool, so easy and flutter on to my lap
and slay me like a hunter does a deer,
sends the dishwasher dashing for
a corner deep.

My hips are swiveling.
They round and round;
dip and shake.
My arms?
I'm unaware they're there.

That a drum should pulse
and pound and pound
through my spine
as if I were an exalted Chief says:
"Baby, breeze it. You might hurt 'em."

My eyes are closed.
My body is lax.
Images; vague and dripping hue whisper sweet nothings in my ears.

That a harp
could purr it's voice...
That a tower bell
could ring and sing into my soul.

They send away the day.

Bring back the night swollen with my private, peaceful light.
