Jazz is a word.

Music is a word.

Sound is a word.

But to define...
that's to listen.

Singing

Singing

To sing
to really sing
to sing out loud
to sing from the roof top
to sing yes to sing
to sing as if you mean it
every single word shaping your
mouth contorting and moving
and dancing through the syllables
and vowels and consonants as if
you are crunching through the
words an apple, tart.

To sing is to find your
self on the top of a building
falling into the harsh wind
flowing to and from with the idea
of hearing silence in the wake of
sound.

a warm sauna
a bath a meltdown a blizzard

Classical

Classical

With a subtle stare
comes a movie screen
of senses and the pop
pop popping of popcorn
for the listener.
