A City For His Music

by amanda-evett

Flowers woven in arches Great gaping realms of color and canyon Willows that dip dangerously into What we knew to be reality Fantastic failures: The light is a butterfly Reflecting images of their once memories They don’t know How relates the fury of a storm They can’t know How hard the wind will blow When callused fingers caress the piano keys Because they could only saunter by and Fantasize Of his next fabric of chords and melodies Allegro! Rubato! Fortisimmo! One dramatic dynamic Red letter action that inspires Fabulous, indescribable, luscious Nightmares with dark classics Jive with swing numbers long lost in their reveries -such graceful sounds Can we call them Earthly sounds Oh what hurricanes they bring Candid architecture solidifies The society’s history major- -recurring dreams How they failed, plethora of hopes Dashed But the music Kills the beast
