MUSIC TO WATER THE GARDEN

MUSIC TO WATER THE GARDEN

Clawing clay notes from the piano,
spreading earth tones from the keys,
a cacophony resounds
in the discordant rhythms
like flocks of blackbirds, off time.
Notes played off each other
too close for comfort,
discordant rubble resounds
in the inner ear,
close to the home of thought.
In the waterfalls of the ear,
you push the notes higher
until they yield their last drop.
