Amira puts the listener through heaven and hell
with the Aria "La Wally" by Catalani, no artifice
in voice and mien to stop you sinking into your
buried memories to reveal your deep despair
The only way to survive the incising of her godly
singing is to seize your pain in both hands and
press it to your breast while your heart expands
in the contours of the minor melody, crying to
Prevent strangling as your throat constricts in
the lethal power of a voice no man has heard
before, a fatal force that opens up your soul
until the pain stops with catharsis & you regain
Ability to breathe again, your mind cleansed,
heartbeat slowing down to almost normal…
