I have a new website!

I just launched a new site a few days ago, and am in the process of setting up shop here:

http://kaltwassermusic.com/

I still plan to use this blog site to share updates and poems, but my music activities will be promoted more through the new pages, where I have information on upcoming events, my bio, my music samples, and soon a page where you can actually buy something from me!

Listening to Beethoven

Listening to Beethoven

A young man presses the keys,
lightly steps a brass pedal,
and movement changes minutes to sunbeams
thrumming, moving, dancing lightly
like air over a cool mountain brook.
Carillon bells peal prayers of grotto monks.
Little bells ripple on a lake.
The smallest bells press tiny feet in soft grasses,
sweet blond hair flowing after.
Pulses race between flower petals
as soaring scents pollinate the breeze
returning with the stars and planets,
caressing like spring rain
tickling green moss.

The lifted door of the piano mirrors open faces
gathered to hear his play.

Lost

Lost

By the convenience store
a lottery scratch-off game
is laminated to the asphalt.
This wet parking lot, see how
small printing blurs into pale paperboard.
It's upside-down, sealed, secreted.
Ruined by soaking
and truck tires,
it dissolves in oil and thin mud:
Not a winner.
