Bone of a Beat
Making a musical contribution
By Seashell Harpspring Published 2 years ago • 1 min read
Bone of a Beat.
I tap the xylophone ribs.
The skull head drum keeps the rhythm.
A bone flute whistling high.
The bone guitar wailing chords.
Praise to all of those who made a musical contribution!
Those I slaughtered to harvest!
They tell me I could have just used animal bones,
or robbed graves of the already dead,
or from the morgue were they are still fresh.
No! I wanted very specific essence in my instruments!
The play through just wouldn't be the same.
I had to find the correct bone structure.
Make sure the instruments were perfect.
Easy to understand, right?
