Pegs and Pine

That live on the end of my instrument,
a link to the world of music
strings like waves that carry
each note into the air
to let it drift of into the distance

Pegs and Pine

A slender frame
scattered and spotted
with marks of wearing
with knobs and buttons
and scratches of great memories

Pegs and Pine

To tune and bend the sound
a fretboard of possibility
a hint of rock, jazz and pop
and thousands of notes
that string beautifully together as chords

My Pegs and Pine,
My Guitar.
