music again

In my office tonight, getting ready to sit down and write… I stop.

Music. Unmistakeable.

Somewhere, someone is playing music.

The house is asleep. I’m the only one awake. 

Yet there it is. Unmistakeable.

I go out and stand on the front porch, just in case it’s a neighbor.

Nothing.

Back inside, the house is quiet. 

I stand in my office, head cocked… waiting.
