Strands

 

Blooms shaped 

into a red heart.

 

Floral assortment, blue vase,

side table, beside the window

ajar.

 

Sheets 

of

Symphony No. 9- in D minor, Op. 125,

on the lectern.

 

Whispers of the Arabian Sea, Jormungand

coiled in the inky dark; a distraught lover on 

the sea wall.

 

The dripping night tiptoes

in the yard, slightly drunk.

 

The French windows usher inside

the raw smells of the sand and trees.

 

The scented candles illuminate

a painting of concentric circles

by 

Kandisky. 

 

“Ode to Joy”

being sung on the

backstage by a young

choir.
