From willow trees and sharp-cut stone, Of weathered sight and still storm skies. A wolf that, placid, watches, roams; Through gentle, fierce, and wild eyes. Yet when his hand glides o’er the string From wolf emerges graceful swan. Such notes of glass and porcelain ring; A gentle sky, a brightening dawn. The swan sings throatedly and rich, Yet pure, unblemished notes arise. With sacred spools of thread, they stitch Together, ‘till the last note dies. But even swan-eyed, he won’t see; He’ll never know to look for me.

The Cellist
From willow trees and sharp-cut stone, Of weathered sight and still storm skies. A wolf that, placid, watches, roams; Through gentle, fierce, and wild eyes. Yet when his hand glides o’er the string From wolf emerges graceful swan. Such notes of glass and porcelain ring; A gentle sky, a brightening dawn. The swan sings throatedly and rich, Yet pure, unblemished notes arise. With sacred spools of thread, they stitch Together, ‘till the last note dies. But even swan-eyed, he won’t see; He’ll never know to look for me.
