He Played “Szomorú Vasárnap”



 




The window was open

Like a door to walk through

 

The lilac bush was all bloom

But without the aroma

Of blooms he once knew

 

The teeth of a hippo

Made the piano clavier

But not the sadness

When he touched the “la”

 

It all ends

In Pure Minor

With an E

And three semitones

With no scales to remember

 

But it was not Sunday yet

And the window looked over a field

Of coquelicot

Fearing the slightest wind

That will make them shiver

Like unspoken words


¡Trste domingo!
