Playin’ the Blues

~

cracked and seasoned hands
reach with suffered care
to wrap the fretboard
in love

callused digits
yellowed by habit
depress taut strands
no longer catgut

blood and bone
grip
connect
sculpting emotions

true life
cries from pearled rosewood
ride’n spiraled steel

playin’ the blues

    Moth ‘n Junebug

    how impertinent
    moth ‘n junebug

    what’s with all this buzzin’ chatter
    you’re bumpin’ and thumpin’ and all a’clatter
    frettin’ with the frontporch light
    steamin’ on this humid June night
    such racket over a minor matter

    while here below you
    my heart breaks in silence
