* Music Man *

            ~ ~ ~
I watched him pour himself into his music.
Closing his eyes and twisting his face
as if the chords were painful,
or the melody was stinging his heart.
Nettle brambles or Burdock burrs used for medicine,
but painful to the touch.
And so he strums each memory through every note
and stanza. The agony of each feeling that every
heart has ever felt - burned to the pages of his
melody.  Like lava overflowing from the depths;
a volcanic eruption the burns and oozes down and
through the rhythm and blues of his song.
