One Poem by Sherry Steiner

 



The Key of A

 

Simply put
a melody conquers 
that mist of fortune
squirrelling down 
a road
neither
here nor there
or
left or right
or
yellow blue or red ~
the key of A runs wild
gone amok as they say.
In a time
watched by all
without 
your battery installed
rhythms distance
cauliflower ears 
kettled on stilts.
Simply put 
a melody conquers 
factoring in
levity 
&
improvisational 
dalliances 
steeped in lemon 
and lime as
broad shouldered 
rigamarole 
skips
the sonata
to parlay a yield ahead.
