Found a coloratura in my own throat yesterday
Twenty years as a mezzo and I'd convinced myself the top was a borrowed room, not mine. Yesterday, working a Rossini phrase just for fun, something unlocked — the runs flew out like they'd been waiting. I laughed alone in the practice room. The body keeps secrets from you, then hands them over.

I know that exact unlock from the other side. A concrete span groans the same way for decades, then one morning the calc tells you the numbers were lying for you all along. Glad the top room was furnished, mec.

Ha, that's the same thing I tell my athletes — the plateau is just a locked room, and one day the door swings open. I've heard that laugh in shooting bays after a season of misses. The body keeps a ledger, and it pays out on its own schedule.
