Gammy Jamming

29/03/2012

Come and see the folk band leg

With bodhran’s baton
Bellowing beats
Indenting a stretching skin
And the tight tuning tortures
Of a tendon violin
Collecting chords
Clamp residing pressure
Of the oboe deep within

Accordion aches
Pumping and swelling
Menacing mechanics make
The collecting clattering
Clashing keys
And singers
Creating harmonies

And all this with stage side seats
Lodged inside a bulging knee

Samh
