Steeped (In Your Song)
I hear from the porch, you
in the parlor; intent, locks lean in,
weight depresses dusted-off ivory.
Only once had I heard the bench groan
Its stubborn disdain. The hall released
doves so sweet, hovered a human ear
in humid seat, sucked denim unsealed
to envision you there, lost in despair.

Honey, you’re so far away, enmeshed
behind a Pacific screen, hopeless.

If I council, share that music bench,
we could quench notes deep-stuck, catch
in my throat — your vocal vibrations entreat.
You to one half, hit the high notes,
where I climb — our fingers at apex meet.
With my tender sole, brush your lovely feet,
sending brass levers to board complete.

Amber tresses soft, replete, when I turn
to the parlor deep, far as it will go, before
eyes freeze, cover as flakes of coming snow.
It’s whiter weather here my dear — time to go.
Voice like lemonade, savory, soothing tea.
I embrace your lyrics, longing like memory
until dawn. Crystal blues ice a wide pond.

Though a heart weeps, in my chest
tender, firm those waves roll on, dreamt
ever-tide on my shore, before humidity lifts
to find you at my door, once again.

From a porch sweet, so complete, when
you drag those legs over bare wood —
love all the more, steeped in your song.

To F.R.’s “Why Do I Do This?” maybe, 40 entries further down this blog.
Half from the song, the rest echoes in my mind as words writ down.
