Fifth Place: Untitled By Remona Winston

Music makes my whole body invigorate

As each beat and pause matriculates

Through the tips of my fingers

Along the hairs in my ears which causes them to tingle

Slows down my hear beat down in my soul

Keeps me feeling young and not growing old

Warmth rises from my gut up

Like I just finished a hot coffee cup

My pupils dilate and the corners of my mouth turn up

I am just as relaxed as if in my lap were a pup

I join in bellowing out to the top of lungs

As I loudly proclaim, “Baby turn that up” , that’s my song!
