My breathing apparatus
is very important to me
as I carry my songs upon it.
I do not take gulps of air
before i sing.
I breathe out instead.
My airpipe moves and spins,
It is a funnel for my breath.
Consonants are the travellers of breath.
They travel on vowels.
My body is set in
singers’ pose for life.
Not just for singing.
It feels natural.
Breath can only move like this
if my body is relaxed.
I always remember.
I sit straight in my chair.
My shoulders down and heavy.
My breath is always there.
Waiting to move.
