i can sing with my mouth closed
and filter the air with vibrations
coming from my stringsi allow my voice to be heard
through the taps and plucks
of my fingers, through
the quaking intensity of a vibrato
ready to bring a storm
or an oasis in a desertthere is a desire to be heard
even through the quiet
pianississimo of my song
and i sing and sing
from glide to glide,
up bow, down bow,
crescendo, decrescendo,
until i reach the
fin.
