Cello

Sorrow climbs
its roofless tower.
Descends to be gut deep,
genitalia deep.

Now it has the weight 
of rain clouds.
A smoked umber
moves through 
an invisible throat.
Fine hairs
are stroked to arousal.
A somnambulant wrist
pushing a whirring hand.

Pressure rubs saturated sounds
though probing fingers.
The belly of a curving drum
thrums, moves us to a place
where nothing matters
but the next note.
