Diana van den Berg - Conductor

I was spellbound
by the graceful arc
of his arm
and the precision
of his movement.
Did he train in Vienna?

I longed to hear the woodwinds
awakened by the white glove

pointed

but
reluctantly
I drove on,
otherwise
the cars behind me
would have honked,

and the pointsman
would have directed
his traffic officer precision
and ire
at me.
