… The child walked
To the band shell and stood
Behind the piano.
She bowed and licked
The keys. The farmer heard
Whole notes and open vowels
Breaking over the meadow.
From “Best Loved Poems of the American People” by Peter Jay Shippy, which is now online because The Indiana Review is posting archived poetry and stories to their website.
