My Strings

A Poem As Short As His Nose

Like a puppet in a sense, I loosely hang here

Getting images of feelings in color. Bold, timely, revere.

A string from the thought to a brush in hand.

I trace and I move in unison per my command.

Swaying and twisting my wrists with love

Looking for a nod I’ve impressed master above.

Thankful for the gift given to me

To transmute love by design. Tuned harmony.

I don’t always understand the direction

but there’s a knowing in my strings. there’s a connection!

It’s not a game. I’m not playing. Nor am I a toy.

It’s an honor, a badge, a duty.

I’m a real boy.

-Jalaila Hardy
