musicians

at their least

they were silhouettes building

notes out of the crimson fog

slowly swallowing the stage

 

but all the rest of the night

the bass taught my heart

a new beat pushing

its throbbing hand deep

into my chest and demanding

life and breath

 

guitars riddled my skin

piano keys pulsating in my fingertips

and the drums

the drums made me dance

up and down and

with my hands in the air

like some wild crazy lover

 

have you ever heard

three thousand people singing

their voices all rising

heated in the night

its not our faults

if we forget the laws of physics

they abandoned us first

 

on a scale of one to

netherlands

how dutch is my sweater?

i'd say it's a solid Amsterdam.
