(dedicated to Ms. Gaëlle Méchaly, a gifted soprano)
A story, though
Is far from fully told
A drama has by no means
Played itself out
You’re not sure
How you can afford it
Although you know
What you want
You may have reached an impasse
But you’re not at the end of the road
Much more will work out in a way
You’re at the start of a new adventure
(inspired by Ravel’s Menuet antique)
Ahmad Shiddiqi
