Sheet Music Poem by James Mills

Sheet Music



Arms blood red
in water warm as she could stand
she'd steep the sheets;
brown curls flopping like springs
over her eyes.

I'd help her wring.
We wrung until the sheets squeaked
and closed the distance between us.
Maybe she'd sing a song
her mother had sung to her.

And still those old notes ring sometimes,
closing the distance between us.
