Worship Sails
Learning to play worship songs
on my tongue drum
is feeding my cheesecloth soul,
knotted tension and angst.
Is this what joy tastes like?
Wildflower honey dapples the numbers
tensed along the grooves of the turquoise drum,
now transformed as ancient ships
firmly sailing turbulent waters.
I don my sailor’s cap
and play on.
