the subtle strings of violins

early
in life, with your parents
and childhood friends,
they blow
trumpets
at your arrival,
there is joy
in the room
as you come in,
confetti
falls from the ceiling,
but towards the end, there's
and less
trumpet blowing
and applause,
and more
like the subtle strings
of violins.
