selecting the next

selecting the next
piece for piano practice
is a task – valse du

petit chien wound up to chase
its own tail, indefinitely

take any nocturne

take any nocturne
into that darkness with you –
opus whatever,
number whenever –
and slowly,
dial it up
until someone
counters, or the sky
arpeggios, whichever
comes first

the city leaks

the city leaks
into each rendition
of tonight’s Chopin –
harsh horns cut
into a couple of
rests, tires trail
and brake
too closely again,
loose sirens lick
the eighth
notes down
to their stems –
i observe
every repeat,
in search of
an empty street
.
