The Quartet Playing Beethoven
The faces are
stamped in.
They sit and play.
having done this
all their maturing lives.
It is familiar and new.
I love the immersion in
civilization, want more,
Like a tantalizing spice.
the faces reach into me,
dancing in soundspace.
The time
fused with sound,
are sufficient
in the faces of the men,
but in the woman's face
a permission remains.
