IGBY
With a plastic triangle, it�s edges rounded thin, I pick out metal strings.
They�re poorly strung along the neck and body of a nearly five decade old Gibson acoustic guitar.
My hand was strumming them hard.
Hands made of lead.
In this instance the weight of urgency shifts from my hands to my feet; like an accident in rush hour traffic.
I was just a witness, merely passing by, heard it all occurring, the twist of metal.
The pressure of lead breaks a finite copper line, yellow worn thin and uneven like those on country roads.
I was one of the many who pushed the weight of tension too far on the old dead wood, carving my name in it.
It was one of a million things I�d break with the same weight which curves my spine to fit the body of my guitar.
Twists wound these spindles piled up over time.
Twists under the weight of being placed beneath my acoustic in its case.
I�d rather bear it than place it in this shopping cart with one wobbling wheel, if I can�t push it.
I wish I could turn the humidifier up.
It�s getting cold, fear resonates in me like a sour note.
I�m going to crack, I won�t be the same.
I�m four decades old but I can�t reach it.
