Gymnopedie #1 – a Haiku

Ivory keys fall
in mournful chords, notes dancing
like rain on pavement.

A Sinfonietta of Five

Is music really
music without tunes?
the plainsong of home
would declare it so:
from Mama’s lilt and Papa’s baritone,
to sibling squabbles and
teehee’s under covers.
A sinfonietta of five
coddled in brick and mortar.
