A Poem to New Music

Dazzled

by Arthur Sze

from The Redshifting Web: Poems



Reality

is like a contemporary string

quartet:



the first violinist puts on a crow’s head.

And the cellist



Soliloquizes on white lotus

in the rain.



The violist discusses

love, rage, and terror.



And the second violinist reports on the latest coup

in Afghanistan.



A gazzelle leaps

in October light.



I am dazzled.
