MUSE

MuseBy Ivan Prokopchuk 
You caress the rosewood
of the silver-fretted
cherry-black guitar
It rings
to a thousand life-songs
It sings
Of two lovers frisking
on the bank of a life-bestudded river
It scatters
smatters
of colour and light
-- that other side of sound
As if to mock our inability
to mimic not only life
But steel and wood
