Essential
Essential
by Beverly Rollwagen
She just wants to keep her essential
sorrow. Everyone wants her to
be happy all the time, but she doesn't
want that for them. There is value in
the thread of sadness in each person.
The sobbing child on an airplane, the
unhappy woman waiting by the phone,
a man staring out the window past his
wife. A violin plays through all of them,
one long note held at the beginning and
the end.

I've started collecting poems about the violin. I have two so far (see "The Violinist Learning the Fly" for #1).
