(picture it)
the narrow platform,
spotlight,
just for you.
(smoky air)
share your
coffee scented
breaths
with the crowd.
light chatter
(intertwining)
with harsh chords
and a growling voice,
drumming bass
down the necks of
(innocent)
bystanders.
no one is left
(unscathed)
once you've taken
the stage.
