The Guitar

Alone on a hill above the festival, I listen past field noise

to the single bird note humming

off the prongs of a metal fork, and twist the keys

of my guitar, flat, then sharper, trying to pull

all loose tension into line, to rest each bronze string

on the one clean level of sound all musicians strive for.

Then across the hill walks a fiddler coming from another jam,

his bow pointing me out in the dark, his fiddle

fluttering under his chin, “Bill Cheatum”

already bridging the distance between us.
