The Steinway stands silent
In the living room.
I keep it tuned for you.
You practiced far into the night.
Who dares play Hindemith’s
Ludus Tonalis beginning to end,
As you did,
Before a stunned audience?
Your Bach was masterful
And the harp accompaniment
To Britten’s Ceremony of Carols
In the Padres’ ancient mission
Brought me to tears.
