TOM PAULIN

Enjoyed your Minotaur
after my violin recital
in a summer arts series
life can be orphaned
and feeling wiped out
reading you
gave me courage
on the stage to on
as my teachers
my uncle and his wife
hand me a Cabernet
as I have to play
in all my positions
in Thais by Massenet
who quickly takes away
all my prohibitions.
