The Way One Thing Reveals Another

  1. Am I having a conversation with a chair?

  2. I pause and consider who I am talking with.

  3. I took the chair inside yesterday.

  4. It seemed like I could.

  5. There is something I cannot name.

  6. All of me feels it, senses it.

  7. Not all the time and when I am playing the piano, something is happening.

  8. What?

  9. It’s more than the chair.

  10. I court the unknown.

  11. I am walking through leaves, enjoying the sound, the sunny day.

  12. The way one thing reveals another.

  13. I kick my covers off in the night.

  14. They are heavy.

  15. This morning I wake ready to be awake.

  16. I move slowly.

  17. Not yet ready for light.

  18. The mist is rising.

  19. The clouds cover the sun.

  20. I bring my hands to the keyboard and begin to play.
