The FiddlerLola Ridge
From “Chromatics”
I
Men and women are drinking
Yellow wine in tall goblets.
The fiddler, undersized, blond,
Leans to his violin
As to the breast of a woman.
Red hair kindles to fire
On the black of his coat-sleeve,
Where his white, thin hand
Trembles and dives,
Like a sliver of moonlight,
When wind has broken the water.
