Eavesdropping At the Family Reunion

The cousins' fiddle duet plays  Danny Boy
and summons the memory of a Danny dead 40 years.

Aunt looks to see if Uncle will share her memory
of their momentary boy,

But he is busy sharing photos of other memories
and does not hear.


Note: My cousin Danny died when he was just a toddler and I never knew him.
