Having Sex Above Her Head

piano notes

mother plays
midsummer’s wedding march

measures lap him
as he lays a girl on fire
just above the piano

climax meets the chord
he thrust to rhythm
mom’s playing

spent she didn’t hear
the song

post coitus he amused 

a piece pre eternity
performed in tempo
to his tryst on 

a guillotine 

only two weeks
till fleeing the
country
