Where I Once Spoke Piano, I Now Speak

stone. Where I once spoke cello, I now
speak salt. Where I once spoke oboe, I
now speak scalpel. Where I once spoke
flute, I now speak arpeggio, now fugue,
now biopsy. Where I once spoke waltz
I now speak coda, where I once spoke
time, I now speak cease, now sightless.                                       
I speak myself speaking hands pushing
hands pushing walls speaking. Where I
once spoke death I speak death squared.
Exponential death, deaths before death,
music where song extols silence, where
holy, where both hands lie as if hushed.
