Accordion By Kiran W., Queens Village, NY
play the accordion
and I’ll watch as your fingers
sway across the cream-colored keys
it’s so beautiful, I close my eyes and
all I can hear are your lovely harmonies
being played like you’ve never stopped
you take me away from this four-walled room
into the forest where violet flowers are dancing slowly
the green in the grass is rich and soothing
and the sky, I can’t describe ... it’s beyond all the pictures in our heads.
for once let’s just forget all the soil-covered moments
and live in this gold that you’ve created.
play the accordion
and I’ll watch as your fingers
sway across the cream-colored keys
