THE TRIO

The big man
caresses the bass
and the strings pour out
caramel and cocoa.
Ulysses strokes the skins
which sing the melody
and mind the rhythm.
The keys of the Steinway
whisper to him
play me, play me
and even the 89th key
finally joins
in the song.

    Great music in your poetry. I’d like to see the 89th key though!!

      The mind is the 89th key.
