Zakir Echoes

 

His long, curly, ruffled hair

would sway to his tabla-beat.

Drama lingered in the air-

I, on the edge of my seat.

His thick brows danced up and down,

music shone in those owl eyes.

Ears attuned to any sound,

fingers played ballet on ice.

I ask - is he really gone?

his rhythms echo, play on.
