See her sitting there
Feverishly pounding the keyboard
Pouring out her worries, cares
thrills, disappointments, successes,
dreams, aspirations, poems,
novels and narratives
Snoring next to her on a puffy quilt
the two rat terriers dream of
a long walk with new sniffs
and treats for after
The shiny tenor and alto saxes stand at attention
waiting to turn her breath
into sounds as sweet as birdsong
(at least to her ears)
The harp beckons, “Come strum”
and her favorite musician tempts her
with new gigs and opportunities
At the doorway
her lover and best friend beckons,
“Let’s ride our bikes like the wind”
Her ninety-six-year-old adopted mother calls,
“Let’s go shopping and get some lunch”
While on her face, the light from the window
where spring is pouring in
makes her almost pretty
