"Music in the Parlor"

                      Petoskey  8/27/11

They sit and sing,

In harmony together,

Brother and sister

After years of life.

The clef provides

Measure upon measure

As the music conveys

History to the present;

No need for a future.

Soon the night

Glides note over note

To a soft comfort

As if two lives

Were composed in

A single verse.

In harmony together...
