Bloom
A flower is
as simple as that
not for me
not for you
A flower blooms
despite applause
with no desire
of “oohs” and “ahs”
& for that reason
I will sing
& gladly take my bows
to crickets
Scribbles
On days like today
I scribble and erase
at aria lines
‘til Gounod is a mess,
Bizet leaves the room,
and Verdi goes
completely insane
while Mozart and I
share our madness
in a glass of champagne
and all that’s left to do
is to scream Puccini
into the skeleton
of an empty opera house.
Healing
My healing is in the singing:
In the ribbons of blue sighs
I unravel legato lines.
In the resonance of spirit sorrows
I set free vibrato cries.
In the release of breaths held
& the colors re-warmed
I let ring from the soul.
