cord around my voice
it creaks and pitches as
opening becomes familiar again
what might have been the impetus,
when for so long i was
dry and failing
not daring to burst out in
song or onto the page
i want to join a burlesque troupe
a chance to return to
the "illegitimate" stage after
this long hiatus makes me giddy
i will pour forth
and beg the waves
to keep coming
