Oh, thou violinist, my Easterntwin

“Oh, thou violinist, my easterntwin
“I wish to kill you, for you are conjoined 
“To me without my consent.
“How you play there, Bach, Beethoven, Paganini
“Mozart, Williams;---
“Oh, I loved your music.
“How I loved the songs, which in rapturous throws
“Did I listen to you fiddle.
“Yet, now that you are with me for nine months
“I wish only to sever you.
“I wish only to sever you from my body
“And thereby crush your skull
“And sell your organs.
“I hate you, oh violinist
“Chapped to my body; I who sustains you
“Wishes only to cast you into your grave.”
