Vivaldi

We were in Venice a few years ago and I had one of those experiences that music can give.
Maybe it was the music over Christmas or a bar or two heard distantly yesterday that
reminded me of that day, but it lifted me out of myself into a sense of heaven …

VIVALDI

an organ recital
of Vivaldi’s concertos
rising to a vaulted ceiling                             

a cello rests
before the altar
on display for tourists

a wandering audience
browsing Venetian
churches    we happen
to be one of those
brought into the sound
wrapped in an ode
that invades my mind
takes over my being
until I collapse
onto a chair to be part
of the celestial chorus
