Animal Persons
May 26, 2016
She starts gracefully.
Spindling her silk, a giant harp.
Gently touching each cord,
one by one.
Harder work than anyone knows.
Hands move forward and backwards.
Tired, but won’t show it.
She pauses, the spring breeze blowing.
Melody’s tightrope across the strings.
Looking out into the open crowd.
Constructing a beautiful mystery.
Applause. Her work is over.
