AFTER CERTAINTY

Song

Leave a Little Room

Kevin Steffensen

Smoky nineteen-fifties jazz torch ballad: a low contralto asks for silence, maybe, and unfinished meaning before anyone seals the night as simply true.

Sparse hollow-body guitar and hush enact the lyric’s ethic. Lovers hear sighs and shadows and place a story too quickly; old goodbyes dress tonight’s words; half-remembered hurt makes a whisper sound right.
