Prelude and Fugue

by Angela Narciso Torres

Something of late November
sifting through a window
brings back this prelude-

two voices blend, I lean
into the keys, draw back
when the voices part.

How the body remembers-
SeÃ±ora V in a floral sundress,
rose talcum hand soft

on the curve of my spine
imprinting what she knew
of love and time. How could I know

what those notes would mean
decades of preludes ahead.
