Aunt Louise
|
Music:
Fugue in F Minor. |
Aunt Louise lived
only half on Earth, Unable quite to leave her prior home, Nestled in a dream, perhaps by birth, Though loved--ah, loved!--ultimately alone. Let her be a lesson in delight: Of cats and restaurants and small routines, Undaunted by the nearness of the night, Improvising much with meager means. She was for us an enigmatic face, Eloquent of innocence and grace. Copyright by Nicholas Gordon. Free for personal or non-commercial use.
