notoriusly known for being late
she arrived just past midnight
wearing a mustard silk dress
and subtle perfume
sitting at the piano
cloaked in quietude
he stirred slightly
denying acknowledgement
without lights or sight
elastic in her approach
announcing her presence
she stood close to him
attentive with her receptive touch
his shadowed face
reveals nothing
unmoving his heart guarded
by a moat of body silence
knowing and familar
sitting inseparable
his body unflinching
she moved even closer
touching the keys
so dearly loved
patiently she waited
for his anger
to subside
