—From the Music Minus One catalogue

Sunday afternoons, my father practiced

flute in the family room.

He warmed up, playing scales,

while my mother worked the crossword puzzle

in her wing chair, like a throne.

Three o’clock and she was still

wearing her nightgown and slippers.

Our store downstairs was closed.

She was sick of looking at dresses all week.

Sunday was her day of rest.

I sprawled on the floor with my homework.

Each in our little orbit.

My father gave it all up when he married her.
