A decaying piano left in the desert
Gathering playa and dust
You take a seat and start to play
The hammer strikes the chalky strings
The air fills with hazy clouds, muffled notes
A familiar and haunting tune
And though the sounds are flat and off
Make my eye twitch and skin crawl
Still I am mesmerized by this image of you
Playing as fervently and passionately as
An evocative concerto
And only just for me
I don’t know if I just don’t know what playa is or if it’s a spelling error. I’m nor familiar with deserts so if it’s a desert thing, you’re good. I’m a tide pool fella
It’s a Burning Man reference. Playa refers to the dried up lakebed it is held on and the specific kind of dust that exists there.
Ah! That makes so much more sense now. Thank you!
