there are chords that belong together
one sliding into another, like G into C,
or G into E, I haven't studied the others yet,
only G, in the key of G.
It makes me wonder many paths
never even considered, a lack of wisdom
and patience at my side
I composed alone, stumbling from
one dissonance to another, an occasional
harmonious sound, the steady click of
knitting needles above me, a sweater
taking form.
