she's in the hall
by a piano
she's a brick of a woman
her glance is vivid
it's spidering the keys
while
the Piano Teacher
behind her
whispers:
kiss the keys -
that would be a chord
kiss the keys -
decypher all this
kiss the keys -
decypher all this
decoding
the chords
according to
the codes
she's
in the hall
kissing the piano
the music of the kissed
keys
the melody of two invisible
hands
bandaging
her space and time
sometimes
she looks back
and sees
the Piano Teacher
he nods
and smiles
she smiles
and nods him back
and she plays on
the Piano Teacher's there
only when she looks
she looks and then -
he's there
kiss the keys -
decypher all this
kiss the keys -
decypher all this
