[Port-au-Prince, Haiti]
Stop and listen for a second...
what do you hear?
Are you really listening?
Listen to the notes he's playing on the lonely piano.
Listen to the accompanying violin
Or should you be listening to the violin
Followed by the accompanying piano?
What does it sounds like?
Soft...
Loving...
Comforting...
Demanding...
The selfish crescendo
It doesn't listen
It only assumes
It screams
Percussion
Throbbing, deafening drums make a point that is not arguable
Where argument is pointless
Because it is right or because it is stubborn?
And then...
It's quiet
Rest
Its eyes are open
The lamenting cello
Listen to his straining voice
He's trying
The tone changes
Piano, clarinet, violin
All seem to be on the same pace
as he sings the signal to the fire.
