Compositions

Strings evokes a spell, 

or do they shriek ?

on being struck, 

bowed, strummed.

The tensed strings 

reverberate to
the hollowness of the body 

through which  they are bound.

Each strike invokes a dash
When it is beaten
The stretches of skin resound
To the shallowness below.

Through hollowness,  

shivering string's, shallowness, 

stretched skins and strikes
Music is born.
To each his own.
