and my Uncle Bill born with an open heart

The dead were visiting

in the corridor

I was like a charlatan on TV

finding a smile (long) on the door

or like the philosopher who will always

wake and travel for a table risen

The dead were gathering, I saw them all

my calm father and my mother like two candles

And his father Aaron atheist and good chess player

who taught me to castle early and lift my violin

My father’s mother whom I hardly met

walked without me with my murdered aunts

in a nest of keys and locks

They weren’t singing
