32 violins, 6 French Horns, 8 double basses, a piccolo.
The one on top is Mahler’s fifth,
conducted by Leonard Bernstein, who was buried
with that score across his heart. Someone extinguishes
the lamps along the beach. Mahler drowns out
the weather against the roof.
KEYS TO THE CITY
Didn’t rain choke the animal throats
of the cathedral sputter
against the roofs of the city didn’t the flight
of stairs rise up above the cobbled street
didn’t the key clamor
in the lock flood
the vestibule with clattering didn’t we climb
the second flight
toward the miniature Allegory
painted on the ceiling
and touch the flat-faced girls
winged part animal
who did not flinch and did not scamper
