I WROTE THE PERFECT PIECE

Autumn Forest, Painting by Tatyana Bondareva | Artmajeur
I wrote the perfect piece,
a poem willing to throw reason to the wind,
to be small in its quatrain sense,
like poison dissolved in a drink by Debussy.

You poisoned my explanation.
I listened to you on afternoons
when the faintest sounds
competed with your song,
a melody which let itself descend
straight down. 

Why didn't I resist the torture?
The sweetest notes are notes few
and say with almost no sound
the whole nostalgic sky
on top of you: obedient,
yet saying goodbye.

I should have run to a major key,
been loud, unashamed,
spit in the idol's eye!
But I am murmuring here,
a colorist, evaporating,
glad the last leaves of trees 
are deciding everything.
