SOUL MUSIC
Jeffrey Park
It’s happening
again,
irresistible,
a deep thrumming
that penetrates
the packed earth,
a dark melody
that works its way
into
our bones
and sets our
decayed hips
to swaying and
grinding,
as if they still
had
some biological
function
to fulfill.
Jeffrey Park lives in Ebergötzen, Germany, home of
the European Bread Museum (really). He teaches English for aspiring scientists at
the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen and occasional writes poetry.
