Fifteen orchestras she said
Fifteen orchestras, she said
in hell
the testament of a cellist, saved by her art
still, eighties years on, surviving
the beauty of a Christmas rose, white hellebore
in rocky winter bed
or convolvulus on a bombsite
truth and beauty intertwined, prevailing
life saved in the evil, the squalor
in hell.
27th January 2025 Hounoux . In honour of Anita Lasker.
