Duet (for Roger)

by

Diane Klammer

Several lifetimes ago
Your soul
The green of your eyes
Lured me to your side forever

We built a life
On a dream
And a guitar string

We climbed uphill
With surefooted steps
Two young flowers grew
Tenuous roots
To the Central Coast

Live oaks engulfed
Our exuberance
We developed
In leaf carpeted womb

We created two symphonies
A yin and a yang

Each solos an extraordinary life
Note by note
They dance time signatures
To a rhythm we helped compose
With this holy union of ours

We duet one name
Beat one heart together

My spine is a piano
You know key by key
You play your saxophone
I sing back in gratitude
We vibrate in concert
I clutch this music to my chest
