Judyth Hill

                 

Can You Guess What She Likes in This?

Sibelius tells me I'm wonderful in thick sheets of music falling,
whitening landscape,

With strings        with cymbals        with woodwind

He watched the snowfall for 14 days.

Ceased composing the rest of his life.

Did you know that story?

The molecules of his last symphony
Drift over the asparagus bed.

That unsung music.

I hear this, and go
Out after dark, to begin digging.
