Missing Graham
Though it¹s months since he died,
news or thoughts still come to me
I want to try out on him:
a perception prompted by
a Bergman movie, the pain
and grace of which I wish he¹d seen;
another refutation of
the Onot-Shakespeare¹ heresy
(why did it attract him?);
word of that East European
conductor who so
seldom recorded;
a turn in Eliot, the would-be
classic, that links
him back to romanticism;
a rejoinder about
his fierce dismissal
of Freudianism...
that I might hear his prompt
humorous appreciation,
weighing and judging,
extending and placing.
Is it his mind I miss?
More than that, his chuckle,
his expressive sigh,
the troubled eye,
the firm footsteps of one
who fathomed so much
and might, had bodily health
been his, have gone further;
the briefest exchange with whom
left a person more
capable of seriousness.
