before the first song (written last September)

I’ve heard it called a “twang”
but this is inaccurate

Even a slow beginner
gently running her pick over a single string
creates a heavenly sound
one that cannot be captured
by language

Bent and bowed, fingers strained
to keep the shape of music
I am learning
