Haiku for Arturo Rubinstein
273
piano notes dance
darkness taps at window pane
lights hold night at bay
274
soft Chopin nocturnes
as only Rubenstein plays
heartbreak made music
275
gardens of Spain nights
ecstatic melancholy
unbearable grace
276
two in the morning
Chopin seduces listener
whispers of sadness
277
nocturne and berceuse
released to waken senses
musical genie
278
played as Chopin played
Lipatti lives forever
each through the other
