lyrics

A decorated paint splattered up-right piano
with an invitation for anyone to play it. Kids
like to sprinkle their fingers over the keys in
replication of sounding Jackson Pollock, into
sharp topped tinsel, booming the bottom end.

But this Saturday morning, before breakfast
was being considered or open for the asking,
this guy was improvising double hands; chord
craft in the manner of Terry Riley riding raga in
the middle of Brooklyn in the winter of his years.

His right hand lifted melody out of tuning in
the manner of a magician curving coins from
a paper cup. As we walked into the corridor a
lullaby of harmony sang sixteen beats of piano
hammering a wired pilgrimage to safe journeys
