For Her...

For Her....

 

** This was inspired by a Jennifer Matthews concert at Sally OBrien's August 27, 2005

 

For her

it is as

simple

as breath--

as stark,

as plain,

as death

or rain.

 

There is

no distance--

the music

flows

in waves

from her black

tangled hair

drops in

sweaty tears

from her brow-

lingers,

smiles in

the creases

of her face,

shudders

from her chest.

 

Above--

it

trills and flutters,

an exotic-plumaged bird

aloft--

and then

the voice crescendos

to some

deep nocturnal dream,

far below--

 

and I wonder

how it came,

and where

 will it go?
