Prompt:
This music will not sit in straight lines.
The notes refuse to perch on wires

but move in rhythm with the dancer
round the face of the clock,
through the dandelion head of time . . .

There must be
other feet in step with us, an underbeat,
a voice that keeps count, not yours or mine.

The music is playing us.
We are playing with time.
—Imtiaz Dharker, Taal
