The Flautist Poem by Charl JF Cilliers

The Flautist



She urgently blew air down
the polished wand of wood
and with her fingers plucked out sounds
in her castaway solitude.

The sun spun haloes
in her hair, and in the air
each tenuous adagio
hung suspended like a flare,

a tiny sun, a far-spun star:
those to whom the urgent pleas
were cast were themselves adrift, far
beyond reach on their own turbulent seas.
