That Later It Hangs Trembling Poem by Gert Strydom

That Later It Hangs Trembling



A girl plays
ballade pour Adeline
next-door on the piano
and in due time she gets it right
and it's as if her fingers
are fluttering like a butterfly

that later it hangs trembling
in the night-air
like a angel caught
while it is visible

and something wonderful
flows from the notes
while the child does bind
her heart and soul into it.
