Hands
by Drew MayWhite mountains leaping, ligaments flaring
red lubricant pumped from afar, leaves used,
alternating rhythms across an ocean of air,
uncoordinated beats from gooey membranes hammer
thoughts into the electric nether that
likewise, controls the whole thing.
Cylindrical steel leaping, oils flaring
green lubricant pumped from afar, leaves unharmed,
stereoscopic rhythms closely aligned,
syncopated beats from treated tips hammer
thoughts from the electric nether that
is all one being.
In chorus, crescendo, deployment of words,
tap-dancing different melodies played from
the same symphony.

| Posted by V. Blake on 10/14/10 at 10:06 PM If I am remembering correctly (And apologies if I am not), but I believe you said you are a returning, once-lost member? If so, it's good to have you back! A fine way to reintroduce yourself, this. |
