Honorable Mention
Right Keys
Frank Faust

fingers down
on the white ones

a little bit of pressure makes a sound
that rises up
only as firm
as her uncertainty

one hand on the white ones

one-two

one



two one-two


she wants to tell the world
wants to tell everyone around about
the fall in love
but her heart
won't
stop racing
she can't
slow her thinking
doesn't know how far she ought to go
she isn't even sure what she really knows
so disrupted that her mind
strays to new clothes
and how she can be sure to look just right
before they meet again

when they meet again

.
.
.
.

she wants to write a song

her fingers splay and play over
the white keys but
they're holding back
from any false notes
a mistake
might undo it
all of it and everything
is down to
hitting every key clean clear
singing to his heart
andstriking

only on the right keys

only the white keys
