Beethoven's Pathetique


I don’t know why Beethoven’s Pathetique pleases me.
Perhaps I am enthralled with the word, Pathetique.

Could be the arrangement of notes, the stroke of keys.
Perhaps the early morning concordance of soul and brain

Comes into play. Mr. Coffee’s deep throated gurgling,
The aromatic smell of dark pleasures brewing,

My life as I have come to know it, who can say?
