Pluck

Pluck

 

The scrolled headstock of the double bass

stands proud, dominates the pit - conduct it.

Your experienced hands should flex and grip,

bowing low groaned notes with supple grace.

 

His baritone's not yet tempered - guide it.

Place fingers over his, show where to press,

loose low cut silk kaftans, hot swelling breath,

breve him there in brave minims and crochet.

 

A resin dripped mystery to reveal

gold tresses, balled hay enough - play there.

Your curves you rest heavy beneath his hair

now awaken such melodies, he reels.

 

Your manuscript he trembles to unfold,

dreams lusty airs to scriven on your scroll.
