I frequently listen to music while I’m writing or painting. These are the results of one such occasion…

Beats Antique

bass note shakes the house
like distant thunder rumbling
eerie hollow violin strings
scratchy vibrations
taut bow slowly dragged
across them
exotic finger cymbals
and toe-bells
rhythmically accent
the oboe and sax
lyre-strings plucking out
the counterpoint
painting a dreamy scene
In the sound of a
thousand faces in beats
antique
