The baton swings down
A finger is pinched
The horsehair rears up from the strings
If only for a frozen moment
Impossibly we're nothing
We’re weightless
We're suspended
My waking thought is how perfectly shaped
The small bead of sweat on your the corner of your lip
Slowly into focus
How long did we hold it?
Seconds, could be hours
When you’re near enough?
All is clear
Alles klar my darling
Alles klar
I'll take my cue now before the bow crashes down
Do hold me tightly
The expectant sail
The heavens exhale
