Tickin’ and slidin’
Vibrato strings,
Hardened fingertips
Slow and wanting blues
With tight strums
And runs …
Fill your head with
Wishy-washy slosh
Swayin’ and a-swingin’
With the rhythm
Of a-chuggin’
Find your slur,
Whimpers
Into Words
Quicken
Into Breath
Out again,
LOUD!
LOUDER!
Condemning
That pain
Under closed eyes
Willing to
Let
It
Go …
Stomp and fury
Beats, beatin’
Sweat, dripped
And lyric poised
From deep …
A
WAIL
Of finished
Deceit.
