In a brief moment, I thought I was a coy conductor, my baton a crinkled napkin in my damp, jittery hand, soon descended on your unsuspecting body... I peered into the scrunched-up napkin... And nothing -- you escaped under hawk eyes -- as I dropped the napkin and ran out of the room.

An Escape Artist
This thought leads to another, and perhaps one day I'll find out...

Thought
I watch the empty bucket begin to fill with droplets of rain. The wood begins to darken, patterns revealed in disarray. Water seeps into the fine lines -- and flows into the next crevasse, which anxiously awaits the next storm. The morning dew staves off drought, but the wood lightens in haste. Winds empty the spaces within, until the bucket is washed again.

A Bucket
Your voice is fixed in the space like honeycomb in diluted notes, and your song falls so smoothly like a clear caress of a light shower. Melodies inhabit your veins that circulate from your moons presence. I said what fruits bloom in your lips that they perfume your voice of transparency. I said what fortunate, what crystals, they fill your voice of blue harmonies; what music nourishes your throat like choosing a magical flute. A generous tree between your blood in chords of light it is scattered, and in musical stalks it is risen like a melodious banner of your soul.
