ÉPILOGUE
TABLE
A quiet, lyrical meditation invites listeners into the hidden world of rooms, where walls breathe, mirrors whisper, and silent furnishings keep their own secret conversations. The poet‑narrator treats each chamber as a character—some bright with joy, others shrouded in resignation—painting their moods with delicate images of faded garlands, trembling crystal chandeliers, and the slow, soothing rustle of curtains. Through rich, flowing language the work asks what it means to find solace in stillness, to let a room’s gentle hush become a balm for a restless soul.
The verses move from the melancholy of wilting blossoms in a glass vase to the yearning of a piano waiting for tender, un‑ringed hands to ease its loneliness. A reflective mirror becomes a metaphor for love, doubling the space and suggesting a quiet companionship that steadies the heart. Listeners will be drawn into this dream‑like interior, where every object holds a soft echo of memory, inviting contemplation without ever rushing toward a plot.
