Fiddle Player — Image by kenne
Plaid skirt above her knees,
cap pulled low above her eyes—
she lifts the fiddle,
electric hum alive in the wires.
The bow strikes,
and sound uncoils like lightning,
notes tumbling fast,
braided with heat and pulse.
Her feet moving to the beat,
each chord a declaration—
plaid, cap, and storm-song
woven into one fierce figure
of music and light.
Ukulele ‘Catfish’ Keith — Image by kenne
Jazzy tunes from the streets wafting through the window
Make me dance, fill my head with warm mist
Rhythmic drum beats and bold, steady percussion sound
Get my mind in a tangled up twist
All these tunes in a mix with some everyday sounds
Makes the city a musical place
Sounds of traffic and shouting and talking and walking
Intermingled with alto and bass
