Trebel in Paradise

Octaves from you
absentmindedly practice
two, no three times a week

Wonder what kind of man Beethoven was
perhaps he took his children to The Nutcracker

Sharp, stern, scary
flat monotone voice
eyes that used to twinkle
now black as the keys

count with me
the number of missed recitals
do not bang or hit
gentle bird cage fingers

a whole note mother
a missing note father
