yes
hearts do break
when people cheat or say goodbye
and yes
lonely souls pine on river banks
and life sometimes doesn’t seem worth living
wind keening along flat prairie
yellowed with drought
but when wailed
in high close harmony
and danced along the tight strings
of banjo and mandolin
something breaks in the body
like a wave on the shore
and we tap our toes to the tragedy
