Scarlet's Poetry Den - The Early Years

"The Early Years"

Piano (Listen to the poem in RealAudio G2)

The piano overpowers, ornately carved black standing upright. Brass candlesticks remind of the age from which it came.

There is a music mountain on top - the masters' black and white promises. My fingers often try to fulfill their potential, though my teacher cringes.

My own chords lacerate the air - unwriteable rhythms lacking key...

Still, I play la bête noire.

Silence is the enemy.
