My sister took piano
when she was twelve
and I was six.
On quiet Sunday mornings,
while the house slept
in silent seclusion,
she would float on muted feet
to the elderly upright
that stood in mother's parlor,
and practice Fur Elise with a
soothing,hushed intensity.
I would sit still and small
in the faraway corner,
eating grapes off the wallpaper
in solemn contentment.

I remember that wall paper. It was in an old two story house where I lived for a short time as a child. Yes, I would sit and imagine picking grapes and eating them.
