Poem of the Week
Rhythm and Beat of Sexuality
Teresa Ballard (Treezaa)
carve for me a drum shape for me a tune
in young oak upon bones
hollow space clean of meat
laid still marrow,
shaped wide tendons stripped
smooth touch and dried
carve for me a drum shape for me a tune
pull hide taut on solid frame
across mouth hold weight
press lips to skin unable to
murmur-hum bend, sway
test sound stay firm
carve for me a drum shape for me a tune
weave in and out small holes
sinew-wet blown clean
pull ends gentle breath
damp - smooth rest, begin
release, tie to string
carve for me a drum shape for me a tune
wait to play shape for me a tune
wait to play and pull
till I stand tight, clear
straight vibrations
firm to beat play, O
carve drum play for me
