4 Haikus About a Cello and Its Player

His eyelids flutter
Deft fingers slide down the board
Leaving fingerprints

Bow dives, comes back up
Every move releases force
A resonant tone

The moments connect
Songs of stars, and just for now
They are unearthly

Time’s up, so he hides
His secret identity
Under some textbooks

My friend was playing cello, and it moved me to write these haikus. 

Not everything is about studying.
