Another Space


They sat on either end 
of a honey toned oak table
with mugs of Ceylon tea, 
a plate of shortbread cookies
an earthenware teapot, stacks of books,
and an Appalachian mountain dulcimer
Poetry and music conjured up
sylvan settings where time
expanded and contracted
—and words loosened from boundaries
—and songs without words
set up new perimeters
Improvised sounds carried melodies 
to places 
unencumbered by time
