Art Helps…
It’s all about the lines, waiting in them,
breaking from them, blood red stretch
of sun turning over its place in the sky
each night, the city’s line of lights
broadcasting our rise and fall,
lines of wind that clear the air,
the artist’s strokes that embolden life,
the poet’s lines that help us
understand our passions and regrets,
the dancer’s play of flesh
twined with flesh, leaping off
to turn and return, and oh the music,
harmony of pulse that raises us
to our feet shouting encore, encore!
