Medley tunes as if
deciding which part
of a lover’s body
to concentrate on
first
Get inspired –
the light,
the day,
the season,
the guitarist,
the way you feel
Let the rhythm sway
to the dance
in your blood
Shimmy off the rails into
a fiddler’s dream
Slide into the groove
and do that boogaloo
thing with your bow,
throwing notes
at the dancers’
rhythm spot,
watching them bend
to the bounce
Arc of heaven
in the right hands
I humbly pray
those hands
be mine
for even one
moment
tonight
