With Softer Music
With Softer Music:

When Annie had a nightmare
About the excitement she had
In an old hut;
Luckily the music got harder.

When her excitement got harder too,
She was trapped by both;
I mean, the music and her excitement.

I was there too,
Just near her, in the bed,
Silent as the sheets,
Or the grumpy walls there.

But I did my work very well;
Very, very well indeed
To have
Annie with both hands:
First with the music,
Then with her excitement.

Annie did not remember why she had gone there,
For that music,
Or for the excitement.

What Annie did remember was
The broken melody of the music
She heard in bed
And the slapping and slurping sounds of flesh
In regular rhythm, tone and stress only.
.
Some sounds are like music in some situations, aren't they?
