Keep Me
I found this recently- a handful of words from last year I had saved in a document called 'Keep Me'. Even when I finally finished it today, the title stuck.
A double is a step forward
In a world so full of steps back.
Who are we to prevent double stop
In such a concentrated illusion?
A cellist is comforted
By the solid feel
Of a presence to curl around;

Human substitute-
Granted,
It is comprised of wood
And varnish
And curves
(But humans are comprised of bones
And blood
And curves
And how is that any different?)

(And humans, too, make patterns
of noise and notes
and emotion
and beauty
and need
when fingers press our strings
and time gently draws a bow
over them.)
