THE HYPERBOLIC REVIEW


The Music of the spheres
Erwin Emmanuel Arroyo Pérez
All the blacksmiths strike;
Anvils tight in hand,
Five times five they strike
Wor king piano- like
Hear the anvils strike
Though different size
(Eight notes apart)
They sound alike.
Lis ten, lis ten,
Three times three
Music keys
Strike, strike, strike
