the D flat poems
1.
night piano
after all these years
the key of D flat found me
in those black keys
how life throws curves
endless improv
chords of my many lives in
one
the impossibility
and your eyes
the rush and quiet
of mountain streams
2.
D flat
where did you come from
saying my hands are
so strong as you
reach and take them in
to yours I gently pull
them away what do
you feel you ask but
I can't tell you
can't go past this
line your eyes so direct
we meet there your
hands reach again you don't
want to let go but must
I suppose I know you
will disappear
piano in the evening
silver light through
the blinds I discover
the key of D flat tears
of time in my fingers
you'll never hear
