CADENCES
Sorrow-logged klezmer landscape
in water up to its knees
under a sky
quite drained of larks
The spruce tree soars up
shakes off its clarinet notes
and shares them generously
with the wind
Patina-green heath
gasping for breath
like an accordion
with leaky bellows
Fiery gipsy fiddle
balances on the fringe of
the final Flood
A lone flute
soundlessly
forebodes
the finale
