As the clouds changed keys

Hocking River at Sundown


Last night,
driving home,
under a concert
hall sky

I rode,
for miles,
through a Steinway
piano

with its lid
propped up,
past the sun's
rolling spires

My mind
a box
thread of ivory
and wire

my heart
a dove,
uncorked of
its silence

and these 
hands

not mine,
but Chopin's

' My heart a dove uncorked of its silence....' How beautiful!

Thank you, Col. I appreciate your stopping by here to tell me that.

It took me a moment to get how the picture resembles a Piano.

You have good eyes, on that good head of yours...

Now, I must listen to some Regina Spektor. Excuse me.

It was more a feeling of grandness than an actual image, but if you're seeing pianos, don't let me try and stop you.

Anytime is a good time to listen to Regina Spektor. Hello, Samson. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKZ5XSKRBJ0
