The Instrument

Imagine a man
with a musician's heart  
buried under love
...and marriage  
(His ideals for them  
at least)
 
He tends a tiny fire  
for many years  
until one day  
 
he sees his wife  
 belly dancing  
and something tugs  
at his famished soul  
 
Next thing you know  
not only does he dance her  
with darbuka played  
excellently  
 
Just about anything  
you put in his hands  
within hours of practice  
he seems born with!  
 
That's my rock star  
 
...my husband! 💖
