Composing

Accessing the Ipad with her nose

Her head jerks, yet with the surety of an expert,

She selects precisely her intended target

Flitting and darting between apps.

So quickly you can barely keep up.

***

Then, her nose, nostrils a-flair in concentration, Having tapped ‘record’, she makes sounds, odd, babylike, yet obviously what she wants

To use later in her latest song

Those works of melodic genius which emanate from her small studio

***

I watch her, and we both laugh at the funny little noises.

I wonder what they will become,

How she’ll use them, transform them,

Slowly, precisely

Into something great
