Wind Turbines & Mozart

Under water with the effortlessness

of baleen whale fins, the giant paddles

move, and then in defiance to the moon

the wind turbines like violins start to play

with the vigour of the wings of bees

elsewhere the drums slowly with the flow

go a fraction up and another down

enough to light the homes of a thousand

as these instruments of waves rotate

or undulate, the music of Wolfgang

Amadeus Mozart on an ancient cassette

recorder energized, plays Elvira Madigan

one thinks of the tightrope hung

between the film and the concerto

as one sucks on the strawberries



The Art of Power, drives the association

below, in the future, the Soviet vision

of modernity, where Atlantis is lit

and we as fish will flit from Copenhagen

to New York in solar powered submarines

then back to the music that as a soundtrack

to the Green dream, turns the turbines

into instruments in the orchestra , now they

play the allegro.
