kitz, i cried a lot when sergei passed also. i thought about it so much and couldn't get it off my mind that a couple of days later i wrote this poem ...
For G & G:
20 November 1995
Speak to me
you forged runners
of silent steel
hard as diamonds
yet delicate as a wing
carving its ephemeral design
into the air
Tell me of the time
you took your first hesitant steps
side by side
looking shyly into each other's eyes
and so aware
that each ponderous edge
was taken right
Let me feel you
flow in fluid form
treble and bass
swirled in a symphony of melody
and counter-melody
two lines separate and unique
curving in such close congruence
that you become
one
I want to thrill again
to the supple strength and discipline
pounded out in powerful strokes
that sent you soaring to the height of unified perfection
to the center of the flame
glowing golden
for all to see
Speak to me
for now you seem a distant dream
and I long to see
your flashing smile and flickering eyes
circle toward me
in warm white light
but the only sound I hear
is a single blade
scratching out a
lone wandering line
across
the
cold
cold
ice
