WHO IS MY MATCH
Who is my match?
Where is my match?
That is the catch
Where is my match
so
the fire can catch
from
a spark
to
a flash
to
a hearth
wood
burning to ash
But who is my match?
Where is my match?
That is the catch
The wood is stacked high
row
upon row
the hearth fire is set
But where
is
my match?
who
is
my match?
when
will
a spark catch
to
light up the dark?
There's wood for three years
dry, ready
to light
Where is the match?
That is the catch
My door's open wide
I wait for a spark
for the match
so the fire will catch
the flame
will take hold
the
kindling will crackle
the wood
will catch
fire
But where is my match?
The wood could be sold
My home could stay cold
The hearth could stay dark
without
a spark
But my door's open wide
to
welcome inside
the
one who's my match
so
the fire will catch
And then
more than one match
to
keep the fire lit
to
keep the fire stoked
for a house to live in
for a life that's given
a
spark
to
pass through its dark

Where is my match, so the fire can catch,
from a spark, to a flash, to a hearth,
wood burning to ash.
Words music, spoken word poetry.
Elsa's word pieces.
Who is my match? That is the catch..
A dozen
years ago,
I began to wake up
with word pieces -
words music, spoken word, songs -
in my head.
Escape velocity.
Echo of the echo.
Tank almost empty.
Can't cross the gap.
Welcome into my world.
WORDS MUSIC WORDS
Every
time I'm going
into the words not knowing
what kind of thing I'm doing
what is this thing I'm making
what are these words creating
Words music unbidden
words music
in the kitchen
bedroom
at home
away
words music
moments
and more moments
in words
Words
music, music words, rhythm beat,
spoken word, song,
words music, words beat,
rap poetry,
trip hip unhip unzipped
whispered, shouted, sung.
What is this?
spoken word poetry?
rap tap rhythm song?
Where do these words belong?
They don't follow song rules
so they can't be songs
Are some rap
with a rap beat?
Are some spoken word?
Some are to be sung -
country, trip hop, pop, folk, blues,
country folk, rock and roll, rap,
world beat, jazz, folk pop,
rhythm and blues.
words music words
rhythm beat strong
words to be spoken
words to be sung
words to be lived

What's cooking?
Whatever comes -

words moving
words shaping
words taking
words trying
to catch life
to catch moments
moments like fireflies
one moment bright
next moment gone
words
words and rhythm
words to be spoken
words to be sung
words, sounds, music
word music worlds
words going on and on
like the beat of a drum
word pieces
piecing together moments
word music worlds
stronger
fainter
closer
and then
can't hear
they're gone
like moments
