She’s lovely, a petite

strawberry ingenue

stepping to the sparkling Steinway

before a sea of black

She bows to the audience,

unaware of the faces

forgetting to breathe

then sits before the Steinway,

closes her eyes,

silently waits one measure of tutti,

then disappears

into the spirit of Mozart.
