Harpist



Harpist


Fingertips poised these thousands of years, adjusting

flutter of a gull’s wing over roof, or under chandelier.

The apparently effortless rays burgeon, strings now not

of the instrument, not exactly, but of deep-sea fishes

bellying fin up, fin down, fin over. Love position after regard

trails eye. The charcoal baton, somehow, as if the drawing

implement were the drawn itself, prehistoric strings

vibrating in a way imprecise to me now.
