Taylor Graham Stopped In Traffic Across From New Construction Intersection E. Bidwell & Iron Point, the first notes of Mozart's Horn Concerto No. 2 in E Flat Major twine with Wednesday blue sky and a weft of breeze to wind a lyric stream through rebar trellises across the way, what was vacant lot a moment ago, it seems, in January. Now it's April almost noon, as a black- bird flashes epaulets red as stoplight winging his way upwind against the northbound lunch flow. We're paused here in our brief morning, as Mozart sweetens sound that rises strand on strand to join a horsetail cloud just passing overhead, a shiver in the silver under-leaves of olive trees allowed to live at pavement's edge, a counterpoint of horn and violin and sunlight, with a sudden solo horn behind me as the light goes green, and chords still twine themselves with rebar waiting for its concrete skin, all this music building into pillar with a bit of breeze. |
