on stage jazz band waits

saxophonist wets his reed

a cymbal crashes

Sounds of harmony

In one little bit of noise

Can please an loud beast

The notes rise and fall

Melodies in the background

I listen with bliss

The notes rise and fall

Melodies in the background

I listen with bliss

I listen to sound

I open my ears to it

I love to hear sounds

tensioning string snaps

now remembering past form

single bow stroke dies

street sounds float inside

afternoon tones forming now

as singing bowls sound
