        Consummation of (our) Love


        Dum-Da...
        Dum-Da...
        Dum-Da...
        beats from the heart
        (of your) drum, penetrating
        a solid skeletal chamber,
        cutting layers of protective
        insulation. Emerging
        from outer cells.


        Dum-Da...
        Dum-Da...
        Dum-Da...
        diffuses into a room,
        mostly flowing through
        the canal connecting sound
        to the center of (my) soft
        membrane that sorts choice
        between fun, lust and love.


        Dum-Da...
        Dum-Da...
        Dum-Da...
        thumps with Miles
        Davis, a drum beat
        to harmonize with trumpet
        fusion, creating a lasting
        moment (between us), 30
        seconds after the music stops.

        Dum-Da...Dum-Da...Dum-Da...
