In this space between Middle C an octave above and below I hear you climbing up into me settling soft and slow between the tense downer of last night and my early morning need for sleep and the wide feather of peace. The piano plays on into the awakening dawn where stars are gone and the summer sky is born.
I thought reading a couple of chapters of the novel would lull me back asleep and away from the troubles I heard last night, but no. So here I am writing my tension away trying to see where I need to be in the middle of it all.
