Take your turn Mind spinning, waiting, hands wet with the sticky clam of flat ale and sweat. Will they listen?, Am I worth their time? In a room, smoky and humming with the gentle tap of fingers on tables, slow rhythm as one, urgent for more, or not. One dim light on the bare feet standing alone on stage.. Take your turn, poet. |

Thank you all for the very kind words. I honestly am not used to this type of writing, but a poem I read on this site made me think of this very seen. I could here it in my head, the tapping. the hum. It was surreal. |
