Music in her blood April 16, 2012

 


Most people don't keep pianos in their kitchen

though with her it waits there for her to cook up a tune

like she recently did some cover by somebody I wouldn't know

it was not the Beatles and if I want the Beatles I would

 make light of the instrument only I'm jealous

 wishing I could have a piano in my kitchen too

on which I might fiddle with the keys until they produce

something musical and inspired love song

or at worst a tune I could hum along with while I walk to work

music gets into people's blood they say

 and anyone who has a piano where they eat their meals

gets notes like vitamin pills until their blood boils over

with something close to music

I wish I could make a meal of Mozart or Chopin

 or some great artists so I might get a bit of them

 in my blood too clearly as she has
