poem for Angela Hewitt

We have chatted once, smiled over an autographed LP at Salle Wilfred-Pelletier once, but she is here with Bach most mornings.

Peruvian and Preludes

I cannot attend to both
the flavours of this dark cup 
of light roast Peruvian
and these nuances of her recorded 
Bach prelude on piano-forté,
(a Fazioli, perhaps)

or it is already the fugue
and half the coffee is gone.

No disrespect to Jamaican Blue Mountain café intended and none suggested by this very disclaimer itself. Those who prefer dark roast doubtless play Steinwegs and know a cribbage nob for what it is.
