Ekphrasis: writing that comments upon another art form, for instance a poem about a photograph or a novel about a film. 

Blues Guitarist

 His head 

 bent in reverence to the muse as the music found his fingers and ears.

His heart

 beat the rhythm of all music, all mankind, all history, all sorrow.

 His hands 

 with these he drew the music from air and the pain from my body.

 He folded my pain with his and with yours and together the knot of it he tied. Then he made a boat, raised the anchor, set the sail, and with his breath and with his song he set it free.
