Blood and bone

blood and bone sing in the dark,
on the distant shores.
what calamity can bind a person to you,
like blood and bone?

two songs with a similar tune —
sung by a mother, vaguely a father.
there’s a secunda: two notes too close,
too distant, too… something.

in the dark, when all is gone,
notes have faded, all mists cleared —
there will only be us two
to carry on the tune.
