Photograph: Nina
They don't mind if you look in the window.
Here is their girl swelling with music
the way some children grow with hunger.
She steps in and out of the piano like leaving
and entering a room. She carries a suitcase
full of dolls. Half of them are doctors
and half have broken hearts, and all have
skirts as clean as seventh century rain.
Now she starts the healing – where were you born?
and where does it hurt most? Her patients laugh again,
the notes drift up the stairs, the Goldberg
Variations come to rest on father.
His brow is deep in trails. Next year
a pack of mules will go through and carry
him away. But Nina won't stop playing.
– Margaret Shafer (1981)
