Notes MAG
The hum of soft conversation
fills the room.
On the stage
He sits with this guitar.
With tone thicker than
the smoke cloud in the air,
he bends the strings into the stratosphere,
pushing them sweet enough
to the point of breaking ... but they won't break.
For the moment he's laying low,
not playing his ace.
Teasing the crowd,
he listens to the silence between the notes.
He knows
that sometimes the best notes
are no notes at all.
