when I listen to Mahler
he comes at the end of that time
but with Stravinsky it’s more
like geometry he was close
friends with Ravel they even
shared a bed one rainy night
(how awkward-sublime was that)
Ravel died slowly as a result
of dementia long after Mahler
caught some fatal bacterial disease
though they both loved his work
in later years they grew apart
it was near Lake Maggiore
they couldn’t find separate rooms
on an impromptu visit to Varese
(Stravinsky and Ravel I mean)
