The Hands of the Eld Pianist Player

Strangers but loved
                aged pianist's hands
                   don't die in silence...
                 The old pianist watches
                 his hands ... learned
                 a secret... the music...
                 Even injured and with strength
                 touch still finds.
                 In silence his tips
                 dactyls hurt, suffer...
                 But the silence knows that
                 will speak in his ringtones...
                 dying toes
                 suck the last ones out of life
                sighs...
                The old pianist sweating,
                 cry dry tears...
                 But the blessed sound
                 the piano plays the music
                 holy, torn from
                 heart...

  Homage to pianist João Carlos
   Martins and his extreme pain in the
   extremities hands and fingers...
