When I hear
Two prepossessing
Petite
Dark
Cuban sisters
Playing intimate
Fervent music together
As their papa
Taught them
In their house
When they were
Growing up
One sister playing the ten strings
Of the Quattro
The other sister playing
Hand percussion
And singing
Tenderly
About love and loss
And another son
About the importance
Of not taking your goat for granted
To hear the older
Sister talk
Amusedly
In between songs
About the other
Falling asleep
Under the piano
While their
Now deceased father played guajiras
Well into the night
Wetly lipping
A Romeo Y Julietta
Was enough to
Make me fall in love
With both of them
And their hot sun
Sugar cane music
