The Piano Lesson

from Night Library Demos by dzuls

lyrics

Severe, her chair
Teacher, not there
A frameless ghost of undone paint
The scratches, scrapes, the light of day

So soft her curves
Gold and absurd
The candle melts to keep the time
The metronome is dead, is blind

Hey, vexed boy
Try to study
Feel the pull
You would rather
Be out, out on the green

Spare geometry
What do you see?
As the kids begin to draw
The tourists take their cameras out

Those savages
The flash is cold
The average feelings go untold
The kids speak more than you could know

Hey, vexed boy
Try to study
Feel the pull
You would rather
Be out, out on the green

A faded gray pervades
And fills the familiar space
A pink Pleyel and crackled
Green for the light of day
A blue swept with coral, too
The wrought iron lines
Shadows in his eyes

If you crane your neck just right—if darkness lifts the diamond kite—if bears decamp and the spider spins—you just might hear dzuls in the desert wind at night.
