Drum

Drum

A Poem by theemptykettle

A low background hum; a deep vibration
Steadies my senses; confirms my consciousness. 
Dainty drumsticks beat out startling rhythms.
It seems to reverberate from the floor;
Conducted through a thin line of bone.

It never wanes; It is always there. 
A drink may dull it, but will not remove it;
I cannot explain it, nor can I disprove it.
All I know is that it reminds me of my mother, who; 
For better or worse-
Never let me go.
