the venus de Milo and a piano teacher

Дина Мележ
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
