Hammers on Strings

When I play,

I do not know that the sounds made,

are coming from little padded hammers striking taut strings that make a single vibrating tone,

all I see are keys struck by fingers,

my mind passes over information and looks to see how many different keys,

my fingers can strike at once,

and in which order they should be struck,

my mind, eyes, hands look and listen for the complex combinations,

and I play them,

I cannot see the hammers on the strings,

I listen to how long the vibration continues,

as soon as it is over, time for a new note,

or perhaps there needs to be silence for a time,

but now I can go faster, faster,

and put another pause,

now I can make one, two, three, to three, two, one,

and now one/three, two/four, one/four, one/three/five,

one, two, one, two, one, two, one, two...two....two...one...two...

depending on how many a time is needed,

I cannot see the hammers on the strings,

that needs to sound more blue,

and that must sound more light brown,

more like sand,

more like flowers,

more like starry water,

These are not the names of the sounds, of the keys, of the notes,

they do not have names,

they only have meaning,

but even the meaning cannot be verbalized, in or out,

I see no hammers on strings.
