Fiddling on My Forearm


 
As soon as I developed a vibrato on the violin
I started fiddling on my forearm – I couldn’t
bear to lose the feeling of the charm of what
it felt like to press rhythmic trembling into notes

squeezed from the strings that spanned curved
ebony on this voluptuously varnished thing
which I had lately learned to test and hold,
and coax the bow to hex. It felt like sex.
