Cello drums out his rhythm, 

in time using his base note biblical 

forms – sheet music.  

 

cello answers in her high, treble clef voice

in two two time against Cello’s

four four rhythms. 

 

The sound of their strings 

accordantly unique

within their harmonious bonding. 

 

Cello’s rhythm increases

reaching deeper and faster 

cello’s staccato pure beneath his.

 

Intensity increases, volume louder

and louder and louder still! 

Strings vibrate, tension builds. 

 

Their climax reached, 

they fade away 

into silence.
