last breath of the world

Max Bruch’s Violin Concerto #1 in G minor

for concert pieces

 

 

a kind of banishing

this was, will be

 

the voice without the body, words

 

fine adjustments from machine and chord

 

a flight in fond pursuit

 

now the plains sweep

skies clear

 

cello wrestle then

some laughter

 

it was the last wide

haylit summer

of an afternoon

 

light left to such devices

just so far as to be

 

often after punchline

droll denouement

 

call for applause

commit to paper

far as the journey goes

 

one cannot be alone in this

yet of course we are

 

sometimes as sunshine cheering

 

all of this is recollection

we must have already known

 

it’s all the heart held to this blade

 

trip down such stairs to joy
