string

She wondered
what
to do
with
the moment
stretched
to
almost
breaking

a guitar string
tuned to
some im
possible
pitch

vibrating
to each
pluck
word
look
thought--

Extend a
fingertip
to show
where it
is? Flick
it with
a finger
nail to hear
its note?

Or simply
snatch it
clean
from the air
as if
it were
webby
silk
and rub
it to nothing
ness
between
her palms?
