I really like what you're conveying with the poem.
I have a few thoughts for you to maybe consider.
For me, it would have a bigger impact if it had said 'mother's', 'grandma's' etc villa, instead of an actual name.
It also feels a bit wordy. I've given an example (sorry it's not the best example, I'm tired), on how you could tighten the poem.
Music; a string
holding us together
in Esther's villa
I'm also a novice on this short form poetry, so this is of course JMHO for you to use or discard as you wish.
Best,
LB
