Lovers Lost

First piano notes,
low and loud and ominous.
Chords changing
from minor to major to
something weird,
then back to minor.
Violin joins in,
a tragic melody,
the mourning of
a lover lost.
Cello joins in,
the other lover,
equally lost,
mourning with
its own low melody.
Or is the cello
playing the high notes
and the violin
playing the low notes?
(I can't tell anymore)
And are those flowers
on the stage
behind the players
real or painted
onto the wall?
