GOOD SAD OL' BLUES

how your callouses
scrape across
the strings
and make that long slide,
and E lays flat,
and stretched out
and languorous,
and melds into A
and then into B7,
and that sweet
ugly moan,
how it comes up  
as though pulled
from deeper'n bone
so it's the only  
sound left
and so deep
and sad
and goddamn blue
it pulls the tears
out with it
