Piano

Years have passed since she sat at that bench, tapping those keys--
moving, swaying, syncopating.
Years and years and years.
A magic melody. No music sheets. Just memory.
"How do you remember?" I ask.
"I just kinda hear it." She says.
My mother, the music-maker.
All things beautiful surrender to her song.
