Burning Piano

The Burning Piano

Melodic flames erupt like an ancient volcano
As the dispassionate father feeds the fire
Incinerates to ash the burning piano

His child’s teary voice, vocalizes shrieking soprano
Laments melting keys, in the crackling funeral pyre
Unmerciful flames erupt like an ancient volcano

Chants a requiem to the Top Banana
Expressionless, his white rage and ire
Incinerates to ash the burning piano.

He once shot her dog on the farm in Montana
In a flap, blasted out the old Ford’s tires
Discordant flames erupt like an ancient volcano

Excused by his aged mom as a “plain ol
Country boy”…unlike those other liars
Incinerates to ash the burning piano

Broods like a man overdosed on oregano
Fancies himself a grand stunt-flyer
Bitter flames erupt like an ancient volcano
Incinerates to ash the burning piano.
