⭑ ⭑ ⭑

in the morning of childhood
there was a radio in my room,
beside the bed,
an old heirloom,
a memory

passed down,
all faded around the edges.

it was our commodity,
and back then

pollux threw so many tempers,
rust red,
a soldier boy,
fighting his own battles and
screaming well enough for the both of us

that i was seen
as the good one.

the golden child.

sunshine.

it meant i got to keep the radio
more often than not

and i liked music,
the swells of the anthem,
how it felt warm,
how it ebbed
and flowed
and held some kind of comfort.

i took my first breath
when i touched them,

the piano keys,

found a home in
ivory and basswood -

a funeral gift
twisted
into a birthday present,
because
i wasn't supposed to make it past
seven.

i'd always been sick,
feeble,

my hands were strong enough to play
a swan song,
saving grace,
but everything else about me was weak,
some kind of broken immunity,

and there was a festering;
bright lights,
a stake through a skull,

that only made it worse.

the world tilted,
and went

blurry

at 2am,
shifting in and out of focus
like old film.

but pollux held my hand
through tv static,
through three months of hide and seek,
sickly nerve endings,
fevers.

there was fleece against my eyes,
cracked glass,
"nothing we can do,"

and the doctors -

it's sudden,
a spring thaw,

third grade and
long shadows ,
my hands on the keys,

i can hear the notes but
i can't

i can't see.
