The Banshee of Both Worlds
2 min readMar 2, 2020
Piano player, I cannot spend the day with you
I am busy with my life, busy with my lie
I long to hunker with you and talk fever music,
But the nicotine-boned banshee screams, “No!”
“Fold your bones and tuck yourself into your chasm!”
I poke my hangdog head through the steel apartment door
