into night slumber
In memory of Audrey Cooper, who passed away 2021 May 02
pianoforte
was her soul—
an attitude to etudes
that trembled
before her
finger-wooing cortège.
compliant
chopinistic
nuances
made of evenings
ebon fire
that melted stoics
in front-row
leather-covered
armchairs,
triple-encore
appeasement
scattering
upended roses
at the altar
as keys
fall quietly back
into night slumber
under their
air-locked
velvet-pampered
lid.

Hey, Ljd!
Sorry I missed your kind and generous compliment; that one slipped by me, so that I am only now responding. It was a difficult time, though, to lose someone who had such invaluable impact on my student musicianship days, at the Jamaica School of Music.
Sincerely

Though it should be a celebration, it's always so sad when a soul ascends, leaving us behind.
A very lovely tribute, Cab.

Thank you, Ahavati!
You always seem to understand the very depths of sentiments expressed by others. Sorry I missed responding earlier; I suppose the impact was that great, to lose someone with who I worked for over 13 years and one whose influence on my earlier musical education was significant.
Her departure was sudden and unepected.

My sincere condolences on your loss, Cab. It's a palpable vacancy whenever that happens. Especially when it's not expected.
