On a mandolin
there are shadow strings
Corresponding mates
of the same note
In tune in tune
with one another
All they require
Is breath of nimble fingers
All they need is space
to fill with innate harmonies
Sweet ingredients! Battle not under The damp sheet
but rise with each yeast’s
Muscle flex, bust the bowl
Be it condo, cave dwelling, or
Californian.
Stroke resonance
Internal& merge,
a bird’s summer hum
(1988, Lawrence Ks.
