Glabrous
Liesl Jobson
More glabrous than the singular voice
of one thousand violins’
vibrating blend
(wooden bodies more alive
since the day the tree fell,
horsehair bows freer
than the stallion’s bliss)
is your satin tip
bathed and dried
in the silken song
of my liquid sap.
Liesl Jobson lives in Parkhurst, Johannesburg and teaches music at Sacred Heart College. Her fiction and poetry have been published recently in The Red Wheelbarrow, Exquisite Corpse, Gator Springs Gazette, Opium, The Green Tricycle, Konundrum Engine Literary Review, FRiGG.
