Bossa Nova

 

Can you hear

that faraway music?

 

Are you listening

to song of the wind?

 

Do you feel his

fresh sigh in your hair?

 

When I am gone

and you are gone forever

 

He'll still keep on

performing sad bayau

 

Enjoying the maracas

of ripe poppies

 

Above the graveyard.

The wind's music blows forever.

bossa nova always had an underlying feel of desire and nostalgia for me. and it does sound like the kind of music you do hear from far away, doesn't it? it's more romantic that way...of course the first thing that comes to my mind is girl from ipanema ; ) your poem transported me for a few minutes.

Is this about Haiti ? .. And the music that will be performed long after the two are gone ....

Beautiful thoughts ... Jasmine
