How many breaks
Can the same string take
Before it simply stops working?
No matter the trends
Or numberless mends
Still a constant lurking
Easy prey for one snip to fray
In no time begin to unravel
Resonance strays and power plays
From that which will always travel
Where notes will not reach
But it's presence exists
Each melody will teach
As the instrument twists
Each twist pulling over and under
The segments which were shaken asunder
Keenly, acutely
Tangled astutely
Broken ends reaching every direction
Pieces newly bound
The unraveled now seeking perfection
Prone to come unwound.
