At the piano, playing two keys at a time
And singing anything that comes to mind
Right hand improvising in C major
Ironic.
Left hand hung between my knees
Slumped.
Tonight the upright piano
Settled into antique rugs
Is my therapist
Finally.
Verses fall out of my mouth
Makeshift and muddy
Unadulterated.
The hammers and strings understand
Homebound and hidden
Forgotten.
