Start small

Start small and settle, into the comfortable curves the coffee cup idents into your hands And the way the silken vapours depart from liquid homes.

Start small and decide to listen, to the way the drummer double taps the symbols on every 2nd bar and the guitarist lets occasional notes fade into easy silence.

Start small and notice how the creases by her eyes open like slow curtains A delicate smile sauntering from cheek to cheek.

Start small, and move in Slightly
