As the Wind Blows Through Me
I am that empty tortoise shell This resonating chamber Made receptive by hollowing out, Which opens up when troubled or awakened By Apollo’s certain put-me-downs To let the wind blow through me As his lips play upon my voice Vibrating my heart strings In empathic response Making music, Making verse, Making Art, Or, something worse […]
