-a harsh or hoarse cry or yelp.
*****
It feels like the chords of G and DM when strumming the tight strings of ukulele with short nails.
And the heavy body of it that pulls your shoulder down.
And it makes the sound and melody wrong.
.
Because your shoulders are too heavy for your hand to strum properly.
Using a fingerpick will make the melody whiny and shrill
Too loud for a quiet room.
But your short nails are bleeding, strumming a hollow melody of thousand thunder.
The tune is simple G C E A,
repeatedly thumbs, thumbs, index and middle fingers
slashing the too sharp strings.
The skin broke,
and the red blood cells peeking over the cut to greet you
It's just an ukulele.
Just strum harder, and then the melody will be fine.
It will be okay, because it's just an ukulele.
But the melody shout, don't say it's okay because it's not.
And the red staining the shiny strings turned grey and midnight blue.
-a.
Inspired by BTS, Blue and Grey.
