Chanting a Melody

As the music inflates,
  like a David Bowie video

My voice is set free
  for the words to follow

Floating above the 
  unwritten verse,
  —like steam escaping

And drifting free as the
  pressure expands

It cries out the release of a
  lyric unsung

Chanting a melody,
—neither future nor past

  (Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2016)
