The Simile
i have resisted simile
for too long
now i am left with this
the bow
sliding
against the strings of the cello
emitting the voices
of every angle
of human
it is like the stench of death at treblinka
it is like the appearance of first touch in infancy
it is like the threat of genocide (again) in eastern europe
it is like the songs of laughter everywhere in stickball laced american streets
it is like the put to rest of loved ones in far away graves
it is like the science of cry
it is like the alchemy of eye contact
like this
the cello is the only worthy simile
like this
this is why i’ve resisted simile for all my life
like this
the cello tugs at the human strings of the universal cord
like this
the cello is the conductor of eye and heartbeat
like this
the cello will outlive us all
