Khoomei
a poem
vibration growls
in my feet
mid-calf muscles
pulse
a rumble
low in my gut
one by one
vertebrae
rattling
what’s caged
in bone

Creating harmony while singing a chord by oneself is "rattling"! Appreciate this poem's reference to traditional overtone singing--an example of humanity's intangible cultural heritage that fellow Substack users might enjoy reading about on UNESCO's site: https://ich.unesco.org/en/RL/mongolian-traditional-art-of-khoomei-00396.
