lyrics

Beat The Drum Slowly

I hear, listen, attend, receive,
your spoken, broadcast and transmitted words;
my drum vibrates in time to taught cords
in rhythmic sympathies of amplified desire.

There is so little to be said without
or within and the gates of verbal
commerce would remain shut and locked.

Beat the drum slowly, whisper me only
stories of summer skies at end of day,
falling asleep in cotton sheets;
such moments translated into musical
foibles and linguistications to facinate
a suggestive tympanum.

Banging my head upon the wall
will crack the cranial egg
so sooth my ossical follicles with song
instead and I’ll close my reddening
eyes whose whites are glowing like
a coxcomb and turn both
to face the wind of auditory balm.
