Conservatory

silent alcove fifth floor 4:15
4:16 tuba-trombone duet
snare drum sizzle
a soprano's exercise
Mimi's longing through the walls
the floor below
slow Bach no pedal
These are the sounds
Issa's lotus pond
Darwin's botanical garden
Goodall's refuge
the milieu, the meat, the head trip
for any musician to
walk freely, breathe
do his work
