Music
Valentines night
Dad's step on the porch
in the dark, passing the windows
we look up from our work
he has an extra case
what?
what is in it?
Dad is swarmed with paper hearts
sticky glue
and candy sayings
hugs and kisses
dinner
then he quietly goes back into the hall
and brings to his oldest a shiny case
oh her heart beats hard
and she flips the locks
for she knows...
her own violin
scent of wood
endless possibility of music
* for rachel
