Minor Key Goddess

Why do I listen to you so?

Slippery lyrics, lilting, not so softly

against the hard edges of reality.

The cracks are obvious

or at least they should be.

Hellacious reality isn't the totality

of rhymes which don't have much reason.


But the Minor Key sings out to me

so strong and yet so weak

elegantly strange, absent

yet always present.


Tonal qualities resonate,

minor key hinted at

every single time.
