The Violin Plays Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

The Violin Plays



The violin plays
In to two directions
Opposite
It plays as
A minimum:
Ah! see the opposites
Co-exist both
Stand
Both be, and relative.
And the music be
The offspring of both

Is this a reference to double-stopping on the violin which makes it possible to play two melodic lines simultaneously? I L-O-V-E classical music. It is my birthright. I love it even more than poetry, which is saying more than I should say. But life without Mozart, Mahler, Alban Berg, Monteverdi, Beethoven, et alia is unthinkable to me. For some reason, I cannot explain, I can't seem to write a poem about the music I love. So I especially enjoyed the violin recital in your poem!
