Pianissimo

Asher Black PianissimoFingers press against whites
Tones tense like
Tongues against a lover’s teeth
Hot breaths rush against the keys

Moist hair falls with deeper notes
Faces flush red with faster striking
Rhythm races past restraint
Visceral, vibratto, viscid

(thinking of Suzanne Ciani’s piece)
