Poem: Solo poema en Alto Clef!

Solo poema en Alto Clef!

“I am a lute suspended”, Viola, say, tightly strung.
To your tones, I resonate.
Ohh, how we do celebrate
the marriage of our two souls
in issue from your f-holes?
Then it was all unmade
when the damned Viola played
a bridge of twisted souls
in the Hotel de la Mole.
“I am a lute now upended”,  The Viola lies done; unstrung.
“I am a lute suspended”,  Viola humdrummingly sung
Ohh the sundering overtones,
the trilling devil’s tri-tones.
Oh, what the hell!
Go play with my lute now suspended.
Viola! Lies.
Roll the drums!
