She lifts the guitar a second breath
its wooden curve familiar as hand
strings hold maps of years, love, death
each fret she\u2019s learned to understand<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her fingers press where memory resides
not thinking now, but moving as they know
the instrument receives what she confides
and answers back in fierce and low<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Together translate unseen air
silence shaped and heard
a life reduced to pulse laid bare
more truthful than limits of word<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When all fails and nothing seems right
she tunes the world through wood and light<\/p>\n\n\n\n
