Drummings
I will beat the drum
constantly
so that it hoots
rhythmically.
Beat. Beat.
the center.
Bass resounds from my pounds
I am soothed
by my groove
and moved
to beatbeatbeatbeat
Faster
and while I create basic rhythm
I too create tonal melody
and I slap into my creation
a personality.

I will slam the drum
incessantly
so that it sings
emphatically
I pound I beat I slap I slam
it sounds so sweet entrapping jam
the tempo increases
the sound never ceases
my body rises
my mind realizes
the music carries forth
even as I ascend to heavens from earth
and no longer am I plagued by dirt
for I rise up
entranced
by the music
I dance
stomp my feet to my beat
fly my walk over beanstalks
flail my arms into wings
and I sing
and I bring myself upon a pond
transparency wet below me
and the bouncy rhythm
causes float

I walk upon the water
dance upon the lake
Jesus is my mother
physics break
for music’s sake
