duet (February 2006)

20 May

let us come together
  and sing
your hands directing play

strong and gentle
like the soft distant humm
of the tuning fork

growing
louder and stronger
vibrations in harmony

the song forming
and played over and over
again, entering the base note

which establishes the beat
  the heat, the rhythm
notes pouring forth

sheets of music floating
in a haze, delirious
  delicious

singing to the very last drop
from the mountains and valleys
and pre-dawn embraces
