The Romanian Poem by Matt Mooney

The Romanian



Seated at the entrance to an alley,
A music man on a shopping mall
Played his own plaintive melody
On a fine tuned Romanian fiddle
Attached to a shiny trumpet horn.

Playing to us, an elder of his race:
A conversation without speaking,
His heart and soul in his playing-
Saying what he couldn’t say at all;
His brown felt hat upon his head,
His bike leant up against the wall.

A finely penned poem, Matt. SO much said in so few words. Captured delightfully! Thank you for sharing!
