Music Box



The heart is like

a


Every time you open it

a note 

chimes out

and another and then another

until you realize

that all the tuned teeth plucking against

a cold

steel plate


harmonize into a single


Keep your music box open

and

never lock it

because something unexpected can happen:

an ordinary 

scientific phenomenon

anita pelayo rivera les dames d'abord


can become a unicorn horn


anita pelayo rivera les dames d'abord



anita pelayo rivera les dames d'abord



that reaches up and out 

to find

life
 
while dreams lay buried

under the spell of winter's stillness.

It could be argued


that my mind 

is

a ballroom for ghosts

where threadbare netting hosts

my peripheral space

and I hear music 

with my feet.


anita pelayo rivera



is now recorded in light 

with the help of friends


anita pelayo rivera  les dames d'abord
  
who have continued the dance after me


anita pelayo rivera les dames d'abord



but who've also had to turn off the music

temporarily.


anita pelayo rivera les dames d'abord

But the dance moves on

and

what I do for love

is being choreographed 

on a stage of a rare

and luminous timeline.


anita pelayo rivera les dames d'abord


So whether in the past or present tense

One Christmas Eve


as I nodded off

 at my writing table






via





On the cusp of midnight




via



I was driven through

a

obscure forest   



tumblr



settled in a lush countryside



via


passing villages



via

 
via


via


transcending cultures

and people


via

 
rushing through

bustling cities



via


via

 

and stopping to 

observe memorable



via



via


via


via


as well as




via

  
Voices 

in different languages

swelled with 



as the people worked 

to

build a life




via



Then I found

  this in my hand:  




via



May the transforming 

reality of love

be your

fairytale


via



this Christmas and forever.

Il est né le divin enfant

 Ha nacido el niño divino

 Hij is geboren het goddelijk kind

Mae'n cael ei eni y plentyn dwyfol

Он родился божественный ребенок

E 'nato il bambino divino

Ele nasce a criança divina 

 Er ist das göttliche Kind geboren

Viņš ir dzimis dievišķo bērnu

Yeye ni mtoto mtoto wa Mungu

Han är född den gudomliga barnet

彼は神のが生まれている

Γεννήθηκε το θείο παιδί
