before music became

before music became
portable
, it could tickle
the toes, pull on our
skirts, tease our rhythms,

absorbed, seeing
without looking

between brooklyn
and manhattan

determination

across the waters,
beneath each

more often
than not
a stranger
to ourselves, let
alone to those with
whom we traverse
the journey home
