not everyday. this is more.draw the strings tight
pluck gently at each
note to tune
the sounds
that come from such
a creature
for its wails
pitches and crescendo
crush the air from my lungs
sweat that builds but
I
I am lost
in its bewitching music,
the muscles in my arms,
in my back drawn tight
like strung strings
of their own
as we push and pull
seeking harmony
in this mutual
communion
of instrument
and musician
and the sounds
the delicious sounds
she made,
the sounds yet to come
make me shake
it's been my total privilege watching your development as a writer, tods.
the tension you created within this piece work beautifully, stringing everything together
