Red spruce trees

that yield

their wood

for the violins

made in

Cremona Italy

grow in the same

valley and have

done so since the

1500s including

the Stradivarius

tables and arms

that produce

the sweetest sounds

known to man

650 or so

instruments

worth millions

played by students

in worship of a tone

they cannot

reproduce

any other way

A single man

stands

fingering the strings

in the Dolemites

among

the reverent limbs

of the lovely spruce

making a song

that the wood

can recognize

as the new violins

are forming

in the ageless

swaying trunks
