Breath & Shadow
Spring 2021 - Vol. 18, Issue 2
"Requiem"
written by
Susan M. Silver
Gertrude “Trudy” Silver, 1918-2005
Across a naked night, in waves of peace
And pain, your music returns, granite rhythm,
Haunting harmony and melody,
Peerless phrases unreplicable,
Hugging the whole of myself, as in life.
You go on, infinite, in darkest space,
Your ivory-taming fingers never still.
You elude me, clever one, but you remain.
