IMPROVISATION#108
THREE COMPOSERS

There are Mozart
Beethoven or Schubert days
a trinity of genius
divided or interwoven
in my lyric reality
watching my music miniatures
as I catch their piano notes
and cadenzas from concertos;
here are three composers
from this cultural
underground finale
listened to
from my sound proof studio
hearing a clarinet one night
when instantly
we know it was Amadeus
or his ghost
who woke me up
as we a toast with liqueurs
on your birthday
at the twenty seventh
of January
knowing only you deserve
the length of heaven
with a memory of your words
from his Requiem chorus;
or when I was hurt,
out of breath and strength
only you good Schubert
could have understood
who revealed,healed
and nursed me
with my reward
in the ''Death and the Maiden"
and you, my savory Beethoven
as a connoisseur
recorded in your last quartets
look away at my history
of past regrets and strife
from this sound and fury
with a melodic metamorphosis
of a victorious poet
cutting through this episodic life.
