Jeff Connelly Poet I do not know?

Impromptu

she whispers
into 
my ear
i whisper
into
her ear
and
soon find
that
this poem
visually
looks
like a piano
keyboard
sort of
missing minor
thirds and
i'm not
trying to try
to write
a shape poem
but the 
black and white
keys of
our bodies
are leading
to a possible
possibility
of 
crescendo
that has been
slowly building as
i am simply typing and
looking at how each line
is getting longer and growing
to where my heartbeat tempo knows
not where to go but following my fingers
that are heavily beating and pounding sound
out of a poem that suddenly has substance and 
yes i am shout singing meaningless lyrical phrases that
daze and confuse me but knowing that it is you using me
to express what i want to impress upon you as if a mirror asking
itself who are you but knowing no one knows and so is a moot point
pointing in a general direction of south by south west from me to you to
find you at the end of this maddening once again meaningless poetry/music/or

directions 
to the next
segue 
that
will 
lead 
down
a hole
a hall
i can't
recall
if this
is

what
is this

all i know
is that it
led me
to you
