Sketches - 51 (November 15th, 2014)

51.

Mozart is an artful composer -

     he pulls you into a vortex

     of the way things ‘should be’

     but will always fall short

     of the expression pressed

     into the event.

The vision is overwhelming.

For some mysterious reason

I remember playing with toy rockets

and seeing velvet clown face paintings

on black nightmare backgrounds

as a child raised on the abysmal

flat-drat plains.

Mozart chimes away

the dry sandpaper hours

of a fever dream, melodies

knocking around the inside

of your skull in musical telepathy.
