I hope you’re playing the piano
Staying up late
Because you want to
And not because the things
That haunted you still do
That through the screen door
Will come a cool breeze
Moving your fingers o’er the keys
And she’ll be right there, beaming beside you
Maybe she’s waiting at the corner
Radiant-eyed
And tempered brightly
With all the splendor of
Some treasured old upright
And she’ll be artless
Pretty
Winding up the tensegrity
Of your heart: it’s waiting to spring
It’s waiting to spring
And she’ll be singing
Something softly
And, honestly, much better than I could have sung for you
‘Cause I was not yours
But I hope that she’s yours
And I hope that you’re hers, too
