Duet, Minor Key
by Michael R. Burch
Without the drama of cymbals
or the fanfare and snares of drums,
I present my case
stripped of its fine veneer:
Behold, thy instrument.
Play, for the night is long.

I would write you a poem
about the stars and the moon
I would write you a poem
about me dying soon.
I would write you a poem
about my love everlasting
I would write you a poem
about cymbals crashing.
I would write you a poem
about how I want you so
but I can't write you a poem
when you don't let me grow.

I haven't any light, I mean it,
and I don't have a reason to help the nuns,
although the homeless mean so much to me,
I spit in their change-cups, and cringe at the smell of them.
The worst part really was the bats, though,
because I could hear them rustle into the night,
***** grimy wings,
I didn't ever see them.
I never will.
This is all a part of the electricity.
