poetry: open up

14/30

like music i float
trumpet blast, spinning pines
swaying butterfly free

like music i press
rhythm bound, broken sticks
unwinding spooled rage

like music i turn
plucked strings, wide hips
dirty feet step

like music i open
staccato heart, lifting notes
double-time truth


Note: The photo was taken while dancing under the pines at WorldFest and the words were inspired by the sounds of a jazz quartet.
