music makes my bones move

Posted on November 4, 2012 by Susan L Daniels

music makes my bones move
he says, shakes last year’s mardi gras beads
like maracas, keeps a beat
not listened to but

pulsed

from the soles up

About Susan L Daniels

I am a firm believer that politics are personal, that faith is expressed through action, and that life is something that must be loved and lived authentically--or why bother with any of it?

      🙂 that is the perfect way to describe my 6-year-old. That’s what he is–a little fragment of character. This is the same little boy who called his sister a “buttercup of death” a few months ago, and a while before that a “pampered poodle princess.” I think he is crazily creative with words for his age.
