THE WANDERER

Playing Schubert's
"the Wanderer sonata"
a Russian musician
waded in this fantasy
on the solo piano
at Symphony Hall
when I was eleven
on a November night
after I ran a marathon
on the esplanade
resting before the recital
over the blankets
yet under covers
of "The Possessed"
keeping away
as a guest from the  rain
eyeing flirts and lovers
a poet composes his quatrain.
