Poem: Exquisite pain sings in my brain (please comment)


At night within a mountain town
of dark and empty streets

from an upstairs room

a lone piano

echoes

songs of loss.

-

Echoes louder and louder still.

Painfully loud,

its strings,

my strings...

-

And your train

slowly, slowly, pulls away,

tearing my mind.

-

Exquisite pain sings in my brain
