Music For Poetry
This beat
This beat beats
And beats
On and on
And it stops
Long enough for me
To take a drink
Long enough for me to think and change keys
A minor
B flat
See things differently
Hear things exceptionally
And breathe to a beat of your own design
On a dock
Counting crows--I am fine
Tracing time, running laps
In and out
Through my mind
Dancing to a song never played
Entirely right
Eyes latched
Shut
Play me a pretty song
Pry me open
Hang on tight and dance with me again
