Rhythm and rage, expressive mallets pound sound on drummed skin, the artist takes the stage

Taking in taking in taking in

Digging fingers into soil beneath the tree surface,

translating time through roots and fibers and synapses;

A story emerges, one of Earth and dirt, words written in a canvas of worms

for #MastoPrompt

Her presence, absent as a whisper, arrives unexpectedly, a faint shadow dancing in rhythm against the wall
