live.

it begins.

it comes at once, like a wave

crashing over you and into you and through you.

the music.

it pounds in your soul, your ears, your heart.

it grabs you by the shoulders and shakes you,

lifts the corners of your mouth.

you become a pupper on a guitar string,

pulled by the melody and pushed by the harmony.

the clashing of cymbals brings you to tears

then hollows you out and leaves you,

exhausted, sweaty, exhilarated

in the middle of the concert hall.
