Inez

Rhythms
that’s what she know.
Not just the sweet

her voice
piano
knowing the heart of
the note of the
phrase,

but all

the hands
eyes the breath
foot move head turn
quick smile

the levels

in glasses
shine the open close
of doors
sudden words here
laugh there

around the smoke
we discover
ourselves
sung together.
