Man With Guitar

And when he riffed

his girth

was no obstacle.

He rose

like beckoned

from above.

His head craned

like a meaty swan

following the music

like some

driven

Egyptian hieroglyphic--

face twitching

as if it

was synchronized.

His eyes tightly

locked

on the singers.

And

all I could see

were his

agile, manic

fingers.


* appeared in "Down in the Dirt" magazine.

You know I have alway been fascinated with those hieroglypics and your connecting it to the man with guitar is extremely interesting.
