the sound of winter
ping…
as the strings vibrate after
the strike of wooden hammer
reverberating the room with the clean cold feeling of
December
each string sounds in tandem with another
augmenting sound in sympathy
stretched taut across hand-crafted wooden trapezoid
amplifying and echoing around room
sometimes if the melody and harmonies arise just so
playing an age-old jig or reel or carol
a prayer goes up
pleading for warmth
in this cold cold world
