Notes On Music

bottom of the ninth
one-run world series game
two on, two out, two strikes
D minor rises
from the bullpen and mother earth
minor D fills the ballpark
the mystery and the pain
of the minor key
focus my fingers
unlocking the perfect strike
for a perfect strike

I get the third out
in a one-run world series game
the ground vibrates
and hurls a major chord
all the way home
through the major roaring stadium
all the way home
through my toes and fingers
