Duet

Deirdre, Love, Tanka

Painting by Dina Shubin

You play piano,
I play the violin like
In the first days.

We don’t need repetition,
Love gives us the harmony.

Deirdre, Tanka

I was a waitress,
And sometime a pole dancer…
You taught piano.

We have had some hard times but
We were together and free.

The Bay

Deirdre, SanFrancisco, Tanka

We met here many
Years ago. We were so young,
Already daring.

Violin, Piano, love: it
Was the best of our life.

Deirdre, Lesbian love

Back in the mountains,
I find you, my pianist,
The violin smiles.

We are bound by the rainbow,
Nothing can separate us.

Painting by Dina Shubin

A piano sings
And I think of you, my love
The violin cries.

You are so far Down Under
I lost my way in the West.
