[my only swerving, by el ten eleven]

guitar slides
that break my heart
sitting inside
my hollow
guitar body
quick three
notes
on air

beats slow
snap
melody light
and quick
dancing
doubling
tripling

now slowing
sliding
bringing
tears

the sad
drumming
and bass
that move
time
forward

it's hard to
breathe my only
swerving
the cello sound
pulls me
down
guitar
strumming

the deep bass note
a vibration
to define
my
loneliness
