Sonata

Eulogy to a Player Piano

By Jamie WilkinsonPublished 7 years ago 1 min read

Eulogy to a player piano

played only by mice.

Strings twang untuned

as little ones scurry

from A to B flat.

The dusky sonata

of wood-chip cherubs

with wormy tails.

Nestled between keys

dotted with droppings

chirping in C major.

Sharpening yellow teeth

with delicate floral carvings.
