Stolen Ukulele

Continuing a mission
to seek out
what was once sought out:

The sound of my ‘voice’
as writer.

Once thought I knew it,
now gone. Now dormant, stagnant,
sequestered in a closet somewhere.

And like all lost chapsticks,
I’m on a trip to find it.

Though I can’t enunciate my s’s well while singing,
I embrace my beat, the beatific lisp at the end of my words –
It may be shaky, not solid, but it works
(for me)
