NaPo #18: Rachmaninoff

Rachmaninoff

I remember holding my hand up
to his hand. A photograph or drawing,
or perhaps some Hollywood display
deep in cement. My hand is big,
no delicacy to its wide, square palm
like Mjolnir at the end of my wrist.

But his dwarfed mine, oh not like
Smilodon’s teeth my teeth but like
Einstein’s thoughts my thoughts.
Which, on further reckoning are more
Smilodon that I was admitting.
