My face reflected
in smooth black, like onyx stone.
in smooth black, like onyx stone.
Hints of glinting gold;
Open wide its mouth
to eighty-eight smiling
strings. Copper, metal;
Thin black hands over
ivory fingers. They feel
like strong stiffened bones.
Pedals three, are heavy
under foot. Deep breaths in between
the turning pages;
A range of voices
blend together seamlessly.
Sound surrounding me;
Unseen beauty fills
the ear. The room resonates
like a sounding board.
Ringing notes slowly
fade into quiet, until
fade into quiet, until
the last string is still.

how nice! I still remember almost crying when you played the theme from Amelie for me in your Munchen living room.
