Note: The octave is eight major scale notes above the fundamental pitch, vibrating at double the frequency and is called the first overtone and/or the second harmonic. Here I imagine these two notes as parents.
EIGHT
take my key, love.
match my note
an octave higher
and let us sing
the floor and ceiling,
you at twice my frequency,
I, your anchor inspiration.
in between a melody
of other notes
may play each day
a new creation,
but you and I alone remain
fundamental and overtone,
the place our song, no matter
where it loves to wander,
after dark keeps coming home.
