Well today is an odd one, I'm supposed to be preparing to teach a belly dance class tonight but instead a chance encounter with a piece of music has caught me and I'm wrapped up in it so such a degree that I simply can't break lose. Does music ever do that to you? At least I have written a poem based around it so I can excuse myself a little I think.

Johanna Warren

I heard you singing,

Notes floated sideways

through unlatched window

Born on half-breath breeze

Caught, suspended on

fronds of fennel, there

Like invisible rain-

drops

of sound, held shivering,

Filling the garden

while I stood, rooted

listening.
