"Stradivarius Mind" (by Joe DiMino)

Domestic

I am not--

only fix things

long after

they need repairing-

spit-stick-remedies

stopping leaks

saying prayers.

 

Would rather Play!

write poetry,

paint pictures,

sing my words and images,

extracting music covetously

from bartered time--

 

Yes--I've sold things--

made promises--

if not to the world

then to myself--

all for pen and paper,

alone-space

to bow this Stradivarius-mind.
