Another beautiful piece. I find depth in your writing that is not something I commonly see around here. The concrete nature of your poetry melted with the concise wording and imagery filled wordplay is a true treat. The second to last stanza is truly amazing...images I have not read before. Original indeed.
I can't stop seeing skin being pulled back painlessly and with a smile. This piece really gets me thonking about the idea of a "living ghost" you know what I mean?
Always seems to be shock and comfort in your writes. I see, and feel joy, and then all of a sudden there is something painful, but in this one it is also a newness... 'shed old skin...'
Your writing grasps my mind, hugs it, then smiles and twists. Excellent work.
Reminiscent of late nights I have sat at my piano playing to the night's serene magic. I like the thought here and the awakening to new sights and sounds. Very nice.

jack, you have been honest. and i admire that. Rachmaninoff's third is one of the most difficult pie.. read morejack, you have been honest. and i admire that. Rachmaninoff's third is one of the most difficult pieces to play (among concert pianists) ...if you write and play your own music, i admire that even more...i played piano and guitar for some thirty years....and i am still an amateur....thank you for being real.
Or Iron Butterfly',s Ina Gadda Da Vida, if you are into drum solos.
