Sergei Babayon, Cleveland Institute of Music Concert
Don't turn away, I am writing about you,
a review. Is your jacket navy or black?
On stage commanding powerful tears,
fingers skip along the keyboard, each key
firm, in tune. Can you hear my breath
inhale deep against your chest?
Gold buttons undone, deftly close
final bows. Your lover waits at the door
with a triumphant toast of champagne.
The Steinway moves many moons.
