flute

I have never been to Iceland.  Much less bought a flute there.  In three and a half weeks I fly to Scotland for a pilgrimage to Iona.  I wonder what I will carry back home with me.  I somehow know it will be beautiful.  I imagine it will take some time to learn its use.

I dreamed I bought a flute
In Iceland.
I figured I would learn to play
On the flight home.
I opened my eyes
As we prepared to land.
I had slept all the way
Across the Atlantic.
It is a beautiful flute.
I cannot play a note.
Still
It is a beautiful flute.
Still
I cannot play a note.
