I love Ursula Rucker and her flow is so crazy. I remember buying The Roots CD and this poem was at the end. Her voice is sweet yet commanding and her ability to deliver is phenomenal. If I ever had to die and come back as a poet I would want to come back as Ursula Rucker.
This poem resignates with my life so much I guess that is why I was drawn to her. As a former rape hotline counciler I heard this story over and over again. I continue to pray for the women and children who are survivors.

I am dancing in the midst of the lines, leaping throughout the crescendos. I am right there lost in the verse of a song, wading in the percussion, reveling in the staccato and falsetto. Can you see me there; it's the place I feel most at peace. Hanging on the strings of a love song and drowning in its lyrics. Can you see me, I am right there lost in the verse of a song.
