Inhabiting the body
sole on the cool metal rung of the stool
hand warmed in a puddle of sun under a window
tongue still tasting the moment of bitter coffee
arms sliding in the smooth underside of velvet
eyes and ears soaking in curves of wood and fingers
over lines of brasswound string
notes singing through the body
touching the innermost drum
resonant skin and hollows
time and tongue
breath and beat
body a concert of organ music

Such intimate photos these days. Endearing.
body as a musical instrument... beautiful!
what an orchestra!
yes!
just where I'm headed ... I hope. :)
love the double meaning of organ music. Fab MB.
The inner most drum resides in so many places. I like thinking of all of them.
the description makes me feel like I am there on the stool with you.
Nice! and I am starting to feel better, Thanks!!
What a lovely wake-up meditation this post makes.
The simpleist things hold the whole moment-intriguing picture-it works so well with the words
how do you do this ... morning after morning ... amazing.
see, this is why I love Brenda's site, I meet great writers... I should have looked before, but here I am and I'm thrilled with your words...
"eyes and ears soaking in curves of wood and fingers

so perfect
Loved hearing the last verse as a song.
Nailed it with "organ music". I soaked in some of those "curves of wood and fingers over lines of brasswound strings" myself Saturday morning!! But, yours would've been worth listening to!!
When you are lost in the playing of music...and the music 'plays' you--you become the instrument...ah, why be literal?--it's a nice piece of verse!
loved this for its serious side but also for the wry smile in that final line
thank you
I'm grinning :-) I love it when this synchronicity happens. Thank you for your joyous connection with so much in the world, and with my spirit as well.
