Cellophane

she wakes as a cello
in the morning not
high strung but
mellowly tuned

i run one of
my fingers
feeling her
f hole as

the air makes
her shapely
boxed body
quiver in

sound and
breath as
she breathes
vibrating strings

just plucked
slightly an open
g seizes the beat
of my heart as 

it ceases to be
modulating to c
as i tightly wrap
her for a trip

Lol Actually it kind if accidentally turned out creepy. I was writing it. Had some of it. Typed in "cello" and suggested words came up; not a spell check, I don't know what it is. But the word cellophane came up so that became the title and, pun intended, I wrapped the rest around it. Creepy.
