Percussion

This body now is beating, this drum
This skin vibrating, this body breathing
This sweating silver skin, this sleeping
Now awaking this body now is beating
This heart is beating, this heart heaving
This drum pounding head pounding
Heart is beating, beating drum is body
Breathing body beating body biting body
Skin is slipping, sliding fingers playing
Skin is plucking strings and sweeping
Beating body rhyming body biting
Hearts rhythms rhyming reckless body
Reckless heart is skipping beats and beating
Breathing bodies colours bleeding
Colours running painting beating bodies
Moaning moving bodies drumming
Driving sleeping bodies waking
World is waking
Body now is sleeping
