bel canto prosody
slips from the pen to the page
moleskin surfaces soak up
the dream born of words
in the half-sleep of
unsettled minds

picks up and carries the words
through melodic terrains
across chords caught on
keyboards by fraught
searching fingers

emergent song
raises its hesitant sounds upon
mornings of music awake
with a cleansing creation
excited by launch of a
songwriter poet
