Musical Wires

We pull strings
to reach harmony
without illusions
about things that come easily
we stretch ourselves taut
in tune or off key
we dance a highwire act
often invisible
no safety net waits
should we miss a single step
we strum and bow and scrape
across live wires
tight wires
tension ready to snap
pulling music
from pain and dystopia – Caroline A. Slee
