The Viola
Stringed strained vibrations
alto hauntings of the heart
playing strumpet along the inner ear
responsive fingering that cries aloud;
intensified bravado rhythms
that reverberate the shoulders, chin and arm
sensuous, distinctive obligatos
resonant timbre both sensual and veiled austerity
weeping muted strings,
calling out remote interludes
wafting on the darkened winds
forboding escape bidding the heart
to forget its muffled lament
and play on.
