Steve Dalachinsky

the ears of music    - for Thomas


the ears of music
when the husks are stripped
away

the voice that resonates
when the duet
is in disjunctive harmony

brash  sweet  kernels

i speak to you as you
speak to me

this sound we hear
that is one in us all

&

all the silence

&

all the taste

& touch

& scent  &  sight

                      that is all
                                   this very
                                              big/small
                                                          WORLD.
