Teardrop Symphony

Poised to play
the Teardrop Symphony.
The orchestra, eyes focused,
anticipating

the conductor's lead.
Left index finger pressed
against his lips.
The right hand

rising,
now, stopping
like a graceful bird
in suspended animation.

Not a note is heard.
Yet hearts and souls
are set aflame,
and tears flow freely.


c. Douglas Fireman
