SERENADE: ON THE DEATH OF SHOSHTAKOVICH

 

SERENADE:ON THE DEATH OF SHOSHTAKOVICH

three chords, like lilies

will blossom on the crystal air

but farther away, not like the last time,

the school of Russian music.

another April will come

finer than the ones before

all daphnean in the wood;

the violin subsides.

the viola forgets the metronome.

the stars sing, regardless.
