Is it over then? Has the last note been played?
Must I go home? Without getting laid?
How bitter this ending! Just a minute ago
You excited me with talk of doing something slow
And now you frown. Every inch of your demeanor says, stop.
You are the greatest musician in the world. Did you know?
You can pick up a concert hall and let it drop.
I will now be hungering for the rest of a tune
That ended back there with strings and bassoon.
The solo piano played like the moon.
I will expect its entrance tomorrow at noon.
The concerto resolved, and yet did not.
Forever now! I will dream of that tune.
When provoking desire is an art, a spell,
That a magician, a musician, a woman—does well,
Music and love mutually swell, they mutually dwell
With passion! I cannot speak!
Broken, I composed this poem last week.
If only I’d spoken—instantaneously—the whole
Joke the moment you were cruel! I would have defeated your soul.
