My Emperor's Three Legged Throne

Nimblest stick skims hit drum skin Bring submittance to my ears afore deafened Transmitted rhythm rips something Transcribes fusion to percussionless essence Slight vibration of battered recipient Resonates hot with beat's cogent command Arcaic lyrics kept frosted ambivalent Snare wires wrap me tight with dire demand Equipped persistent musician tender Taps jazz ostinato out until my innards revolt Sends suddenly a heart buzz centred Haphazard feeds my ardent uncovered pulse Simultaneous cymbal clash climactic Existing utterly in thrum ghost note's vacance Subdivision given in drummer's frantic Twirled gut spasms driven by his incessance 17th October 2020 - Emperor Ultimate Music Maker, Ace - I want to sing your name forever

How on earth did you break down the acoustics of percussion, into such a wonderful equation of a poem, I wouldn’t have thought it possible Sigrid, definitely more to you than meets the eye or ear, and I’m so glad I cannot figure it out, a mystic mystery, keeps me guessing and intrigued, cheers David
