The 365 Project

outside now
we are all seated
around a large
round piano
we each have
the notes
that are ours

we begin
playing each after
the other and
it is strange
beautiful music
before it
begins to rain

out of the night endlessly
twisting i lay dreaming

the piano
fills with water
soon goldfish
appear flickering
in the dark
water born
from the music

jay closes
the lid and folds
everything up
until it’s gone
water fish and all
before it
stops raining

out of the night endlessly
twisting i lay dreaming
