The Duet | The High Calling

The Duet | The High Calling:

I slide onto Mom’s piano bench, a polished rectangle that always seemed tailor-made for two players instead of one. But I sit alone in front of these 88 keys, where we sisters spent years practicing scales and memorizing recital pieces. On the piano-console, a ceramic bluebird roosts, as it always has, this long-serving witness to our frustrated banging of angry fists on whole octaves.
