Nika Turbina

I am playing the piano


I am playing the piano,
My fingers echo across the keys,
Agitated by the music,
They feel pain and fill with light.
I am playing the piano,
I know not the lyrics,
I know not the notes,
But I feel odd
Hearing the sound
Which has filled my home.
It opens windows wide,
Its whirl is making the trees dizzy,
It has mixed up night and day,
This secret sound.
I am playing the piano,
My fingers falter quietly,
It is the music of the Universe,
It feels cramped in my home.
