Auditory Nerve
Subversive sounds show stifled ears
known rhythms can
diverge
at will
that harmony needs dissonance
and silence can possess a dance
that instrumentals can express
what simple lyrics never say
and nowhere would a note go wrong
if it should serve the longer song
and music could be anything
for one or all
when freedom sings.
