Oubliette



Bright,

you played upon my hour's chord,

plucking limbs,

light as spring, unwary.

Distant,

a confined element

masked the laws of men;

unlike God's measure, kind,

an oscillating heat.


Caged,

these hands no music find,

his glove keeps night;

dark dissonance devolving,

vibrating skin creeping raw within

this shedding rhythm.


Tonal deities

defy the apex of my sorrow,

what voice ore hid, now falls below,

small sounds smuggled out,

returning rare,

to whet the cell defiled,

in answer through forgotten bars

you pace.
