BACH: CELLO SONATA

by Ken Samberg
Quebec, Canada


I will not be silly: we are
serious . . . I will not tell you
I would fade away into

oblivion (I hope you are all
listening): on this island in the
midst of madness (consider

struggling humankind) the scene
is Kafkaesque, the notes are
sad yet sweet fa la . . .

Still life, frozen; time is
melting; all is night
sad yet sweet fa la . . .
