Music – Song #2

Matthew Guzman

Sit by the piano that plays
in my memory. Those bluesy tunes

about how happiness “don’t take no money.”
Play a rhapsody again, while I sit drunk

with life, intoxicated by your notes,
outstretched to our life on a ten by ten carpet,

dizzy in denouement of the final note.
You transferred your power from finger to key,

from key to hammer, hammer to soul.
We once bounced free on clouds above

overcasted day-gloom. But now, the apartment is smaller
and there is no piano. I traded it for a volume of books,

books I have yet to read. I look at their nice leather covers
and try to imagine the music.
