The Covid Sorrow

We

Will miss you on winter evenings

Will assemblé in dim light     

Pursed lips

Held breath

Listening for your sonant aura

Your long thin fingers

Echoing the piano keys you called your children

Will recall your whispering voice

Humming alongside the languorous wind

Floating through your favorite sapling

Allongé arabesque

Distancing…

We will continue to elude the taker of life

Allow your numinous love to remain alive

Stare out the frosted windows

Humming euphonic remembrance

To those other ever faithful friends

The embracing shadows

Of your melodic tree
