She shuffled to the piano
painfully, slowly,
supported
by the daughter
she no longer recalls.

Gnarled, stiff hands,
so fragile and thin,
grasp at sheet music
as unfamiliar as hieroglyphs.

She stared at those pages
and down at the keys
before finally, haltingly
plinking random notes

This woman, once renowned
for her independence,
her stubbornness,
now frail and lost
within a home
she can't remember.

Playing piano in her
own private hell.

You should post that one, Min... its wonderful! Thank you.

Ok. I have coffee and Van Morrison is rockin out some blues. I'll stop this half-alsleep swaying and go review poemies. Swirly love and mini sweet, if I ain't back with em in about an hour I'll come a callin.

from van's place

I was on Grand Parade--he was squalling into being on Cypress Avenue

I love his TB Sheets - they all used to get TB in Britain because it was so fuckin' filthy and expensive to heat

You have a sweet tone to you Angeline

Ah but first I must thank Carlie for his excellent critiques and all of you who wrote such beautiful comments on my poem Nothing, which was real and yes, of course I felt and do but not that day. It was easier to be a rock that day. One of my best friends died--in an entirely separate incident--that same day. It was the worst week of my life, but as you see--I survived. You are all kind, lovely people.

And yes, I'm so so Needy. And venal. Of course I want that country house. Who wouldn't? Thanks for the good words, poets.

Just chalk up the cryptic to one of My moods - when the leather longs to be lifted and nothing nor one is near to cradle the landing of it.... Nor hear its singing

because I always wrote in a vacuum--I've made it a practice in life to avoid writers like the plague--avoid their hubris and weekend workshops and pub talk (unless they actually WERE writers--a tiny subset of the so-called writer chort)

this is the first time I've been involved in an ongoing workshop with others

just glad it happened before I got old (cough) [flexes muscles]

cohort--not chort

chort may be a distant relative of "chert" which itself is some kind of thing that geologists peer at
