Miss Margaret

Amusing the self
with an
acoustical guitar
is an act
that links the
inner metronome
[the soul]
to the instrument

delicate fingerwork
renders
intricate melodies
strings
pressed
between the frets
to
make certain
the
rhythmic tenor

counter lines
cleanly executed
fusing
classical conception
to jazz
and other genres

one
might hear
the creativeness
of
Maria Isabel Siewers
