diva

she enters,
stagedoor left.
scarf, a fashion

like side swept hair.
the hum of monitors,
the banter of the band

her friends
are magnets
that pull her in.

invisible,
mysterious,
tonight is proof positive.

the storm
of applause gushes
like five thousand thunders.

warm smiles
meet her, she tests
the mic. electricity

will wrap her voice
tonight.
