Little Fugue

The yew’s black fingers wag;

Cold clouds go over.

So the deaf and dumb

Signal the blind, and are ignored.

I like black statements.

The featurelessness of that cloud, now!

White as an eye all over!

The eye of the blind pianist

At my table on the ship.

He felt for his food.

His fingers had the noses of weasels.

I couldn’t stop looking.

He could hear Beethoven:

Black yew, white cloud,

The horrific complications.

Finger-traps – a tumult of keys.

Empty and silly as plates,

So the blind smile.

I envy the big noises,

The yew hedge of the Grosse Fuge.
