The Singing Box

Faisal Shahid March 28, 2006

Tags:

Keys on mahogany,
Blunt, dampening, resonating,

Bodies in black, swaying,
Like wild swans,
Floating on diverging ripples,
Fingers meditating,
Eyes closed, wondering,
Under shut lids,

The singing box,
Connecting with warm breath,
Someone in the crowd dying,
Others being born,
All awakening.
