Listening to the Piano by Michael Nyman

The Piano - a film by Jane Campion

THE PIANO

Listening to a piece of good music is like

looking at a cat

sitting on our lap or laptop,  purring

demanding us

to set everything aside

to attend to her fully

body              soul             and mind

they will grace us with the pleasure

that our heart asks for

just like the other title of this song…

mesmerising

drowning

intoxicating…
