Listen
do you hear it?
Do you hear the sigh
as the sax swells and sweeps
through the amber-lit room?
Do you feel the
increased volume
until the music drifts
through you with a chill?
alive, unexpected, electric
Do you see why it blankets me
in slow, poignant alchemy?
Listen to the piano confess
the pulse of the first kiss.
Listen to the curves of the horn,
as deliberate as a first touch.
Just listen
