grace

just these eighty-
eight keys
available

*

your tall voice
making light
tones

*

rest is all
about the
notes

*

quiet
unto ample
speech equals sonority

*

pitched
toward flight
such long leaning

*

neighborhood
awash in
ample beatific shadows

Hmmmm. Reminds me of the singer, Jeff Buckley, of the beauteous voice (capable of singing in the coloratura range), his song, "Grace," from the CD of the same name. Died in the Mississippi river, weighed down by his Doc Marten boots, and a key ring hung with dozens of keys collected from many hotels when he was on tour. But I think you're referring to a different kind of "key." Or are you?
