Masterpiece

Jason! Look at my song!
My younger brother
Waves a scribbled sheet.
I frown, gnash my teeth,
And clench my fists.
You drew on my paper!
His smile wavers. I grab
Vincent’s masterpiece, tear
It into tiny pieces. Scraps
Flutter to the ground.
Eyes welling, he confides,
It was a song about us.
I crash to shaky earth,
Fumble on hands and knees
To piece together his song.
