dancing across the keyboard
a pair of dusty hands—
both magnified
by silver apples;
like vast oceans of turquoise,
the white keys somersault,
more apples sprout from the branches,
each apple with a little more understanding.
with each pirouette on the polished piano,
the old calluses vanish
back into the mist.

The best way to get to know someone is to not hear preassumptions about them first.
