Violin

by BOB GALLO   Nov 18, 2022


Why just the violin can speak the truth
when all the sounds are disingenuous?

Just violin can make an archer of sounds,
arrowing Achilles' heel of your apathy,

play something deep in where
other instruments come short
puncturing through your chest,

...where everything is feeling
ripening to tears,
pains mending to pearls,
and
fibers, nerves,
further turning
to the musical strings.

    Do you know how to play the violin?

    My mind wants to turn the word ‘turning’ to ‘tuning’.

    I feel this way about acoustic guitars. Especially when played very well. My dad plays us songs whenever we visit him. He only learned to play the guitar so he could sing.

      So you have some fatherly connection to music. It is good. No song is like the song my Mother,(and father) taught me.
