POEM: song without words

I wrote this tonight at Bar Next Door while listening to James Shipp, Mike LaValle, Rogerio Boccato and Jo Lawry.

song without words

there is a way you sing
this song without words
that reminds me of
water touching sand

the bell falls to the ground
like a baby’s eyes opening

your fingers tap the chorro
I taste warm maté

what if we never get past
this slowly revolving door?

never get to the sunshine lands
where children play big drums
and dance without fear?
