A SEAHORSE QUESTIONING ( for Onelia)
A SEAHORSE QUESTIONING
( for Onelia)
The cellist's hand
waits outside the music
pauses
beside his instrument
like an exotic fish
steadying itself
in the flow of the music
before dashing out
from behind a glowing coral
eagerly snapping up
the little notes that swim by.
At Nazzareno's head
his cello bobs
like a seahorse
questioning
all that is
happening
as he tries to enter
the same stream
(despite Heraclitus's advice)
~ ~ ~ t/w/i/c/e/.
