arrhythmia
he listens
the piano in a Górecki song
the understated sympathy
those passages where a note
at a time
is quietly quoted
the dripping tap of his humanity
in a symphony of things ineffable being uttered
he exists mostly in the spaces
between the strikes of the key
waiting with
a kind of insistence
on the beating of his heart
that up or down on the staves of a ladder
unsure whether he is the piano or the pianist
