FOR ALEXANDER FOKKENS –

conductor

time stands still

as he stands in silence

at one with the silence

of the Universe

in readiness

to bring to mobile casino life

the inspired sounds

penned on the score

lying lifeless before him

sounds awaiting

the beat of his baton

beating in time

to  his heartbeat

and the listening ears

of his hearers
