AIDAN ANDREW DUN _______________________________ COLIBRI ‘Chopin, a hummingbird hovering over the abyss.’ Baudelaire What use after ceasing, the polonaise, transparent staircase of melody upward, skill of wing muscles in mortal fingers, the hovering rainbow of the colibri lighting the gulf with a pure act of faith, incredibly occupying timelessness while the deathworm eats the lungs from inside, the grave mother sings her terrible nocturne, dreadful lullaby of the final descent? Faintly the monstrous odour of hospitals mingles with the fragrance of the mazurkas. Essence has taken flight in the direction of origin, carrying with it a destiny of music.
