When There Was Music
by Trisha De GraciaThere was music, then.
It filled me to the brim with fluid ecstasy
and spilled over my edges into every aspect of my life-
spilled in just the way ripe peach juice spills
outside the glass of some exuberent little child
and onto her plump little hands.
It spilled
and I delighted to wipe the sticky sweet
onto my brand new sundress.
