The Eros Piano

Sleek curve
Long, undulating line
Steel, wood and

String
Strung taut
Tensile desire stretched

Over a recumbent bed
Of maple soft
Sound

Some welcome
Sweet fantasies
Of holy devil dances

Others: Abstract distractions
Unpredictable outbursts
Of joy and sorrow…

Primal longings —
The pleasurable
Polyphonous marriage of Air

Sound and Desire
