when two worlds collide
we played a concert tonight in our new black dresses. i got lost in the music again. when i'm playing, i have no thoughts. my mind transforms into something primordial, something melted in a puddle of notes; taut bow against string; synchronized exhales and soft, blurring movement; emotion, raw and primitive, manifested in the swell and cry of my heartbeat in time with the wordless voices around me. i'm even beginning to appreciate the concert anxiety in a new way-- onstage, i am an actress, a performer. i become something different than myself.
something... better.
something... better.
