Commended in the 2018 Waltham Forest Poetry Competition
Play
says the girl in the coat
by the piano, who knows
I only sat down
by accident, haven’t
the skills to do
what she wants
on the black
and the white of it. Put
your hands here,
says the girl with the coat
by the piano, placing hers
over mine on the cool
and the dark of it, whispering
notes in my ear.
