A Prelude of Bach on His Harpsichord by Michelle FloydI do not sugar-coat my trebles for you,
nor shadow, nor line, nor paint -
nor beguile my bass for you.
You are some brilliant, time-surmounted incantation
of the subconscious musica;
sometimes you move through bestirred memory -
[ m i n e ]
As much as the meticulous is sought,
deft fingers playing the implicit mind,
the toccata of the cerebrum,
it is not for your melody, Monsieur,
that I yearn. 02/10/2008 Author's Note: 18.Feb.2003
