take me down. hit me with your
wall of sound and knock me over.
crawl your way into my eardrums
and run down my spine like a
xylophone. swing from
my rib cage like Monkey
bars twist through the tendons in my shoulder blades
pound on my snare drum heart. i know you're there, about
to begin, I'm waiting, waiting for the
pounding as you rush through the muscles in my shins
begging my lungs to explode rattling every bone in my body. I can
see you, see the red and
gold smashing together with every beat, the blue and green intertwining themselves, circling around the red outlining the gold. can you feel it? can you feel the blue pulsing under your fingernails? pulsing faster
and faster as the red and green dance dangerously close to the edge of my vision. my dear you make me want to run. run until my legs break, run until I shatter, run until it's just me and the wind and you pumping out from my
heart and into my veins
rushing through my blood
stream, rushing until it has filled up every
inch of me. I am a fire work at the exact moment of exploding.
I'm inside out and upside down all at
the same time. take me into your loud embrace and crush
me into the shape of your notes as they fill the air. leave me
breathless as your last golden
tendrils of light
fade
away.
