All 88 at Once

by Michael Channing

i hear your music through the walls
tripling tortured piano plunks
of a new player playing with all
the power of a shower of rocks
falling onto a tuned roof

one day you'll play with a soft precision
but never as fully from your heart

Sounds That Build High Like a Mountain
