Transposition

Quiet, trembling space between

black and white keys

there is no room for grey

only for what comes after

 

from the third to the fourth key

we find a moment for sadness

not losing ourselves in nothingness

catch what is still alive

and save it with our gaze

 

we move step by step

and then we crack

 

between the seventh and the eighth doubt

a small, anxious second appears

 

on another note,

in a different tonality

 

we change

and the same music

is no longer the same.
