Terrific post, Angela! Mary's poem here sparkles and your elucidation makes "Müller and Me" 3-D!

Denise, I love your comment. Thank you!

I love the Koch bit..

It reminds me of the opening of Elegy on Toy Piano by dean young (which was written in memory of Koch):
You don’t need a pony / to connect you to the unseeable / or an airplane to connect you to the sky.

Collin, that's a great association--thank you!

As a lover of music, I would like to add two additional artists to great performances of Schubert's "pain-drenched" Winterreise: Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau and Ian Bostridge. Both singers -- and the magnificent Thomas Quasthoff -- give legendary renditions of the masterpiece. Thank you.

The vowel of ai creates a rippling rhythm from line to line, as cited by Angela.

Extraordinary....thank you, thank you...

I left it
on when I
left the house

of coming back
ten hours later
to the greatness

"After You've Gone"
on the piano
in the corner
of the bedroom
