The Red Violin

is

perfection..

owner to owner

perfection is passed..

each owner nods

to this idol

with awestruck glee..

but perfection

interferes and disrupts

even poisoned once

an intimate encounter..

forgotten in this

and other tales

is human waking

 shifting and reaching

of shadow and spirit...

(reference the
late Roger Ebert's
review of the 1998
movie)
