The Sound That They Do

Yes,

It's true

With the sound

That they do

So immaculately engulfing

I am seized

By tactfully built tension

Eased

Into the moment

Out of my mind

Presence based

Body rooted

Absorbing and expelling

Kinetic energy

Quite magnetically

Wordlessly telling

The motion required

Is sonically inspired

And never leaves me tired

 

Yes,

It's true

With the sound

That they do

I always

Want more

I'll tell you

What for

I feel the need

To explore

How feet

Float across the floor

Moving we

Our muscles taught

With time bought

Zested

For peak flavor

We savor

Each delicately paletted note

As we taste it

Yes,

It's true

With the sound

That they do

I am clearly moved

Percussion inducing

The immediacy of labor

But I consider it

To be a great favor

When my eyes burn

From dripping sweat

Salty and wet

It's a sure bet

That set

Was lived

Without regret
