Your Voice

To sing understandably, 
you have to get
your tongue and teeth into it.

But singing is first of all breath.
Relax your core. Air falls in
to the space you make.

Now sing out. Air rings your bones –
streaming past tongue, teeth, lips –
tapping out the words.

Everyone breathes the same air.
While you’re here, the air sings
with your voice.
