who carries the music
on her back
like it's no burden
at all
her cello will imitate
someone's voice later
and i tell her chamber music
is one of my favorite things
not that i'm a savage beast
but because i respect
music's beauty
maybe i'll see her at
carnegie hall
with her chamber group
or hear her on a c.d.
a lone voice
singing
