Substack recently included me in their private beta testing group, allowing me to record video directly into my posts for subscribers. Here is my face saying words that I wrote. Let me know what you think of these multimedia writing posts!
The word is a drum
Every heart beat a drum
Jealousy and rage
Every angle a drum
A soul of two spirits
The gift is a drum
Murder and famine
My existence a drum
Your feet and the cage
Vibration of the Earth in a storm
And lightning is a drum
Electricity in the air
Tightrope energy
The invisible hum is a drum
The rumble of home
A streetcar on its track with its bell
Every dingle a drum
Every morning a drum
Sun rises and afterwards
Blue skies are a drum
Animals in the clouds
And the strumming of fingertips on string
Creation is a drum
Myth and pathos
Conservation is a drum
His eyes are alight as they flutter
Every breath a drum beating
With each sleep a new being
The Dream is the Drum
The paperclip and the swallowed safety pin
The esophagus is moist and taut
To forget is to drum
As healer is to shaman
Any human is forgiven
That filthy carpet is a drum
The veins are a drum
The sound of one’s breath
Forsaken piles of clothing and books
Vinyl records are drums
Every child without status
The innocence of discovery and truth
The world is a drum
And we’re in it
The Word Is A Drum
