opus
Having spent his entire childhood in seclusion
In a forest
A King composes a suspended orchestra
Ode to his ocean
His Queen
While king’s speak through the stars
Do the seas give enough?
Do her waters?
Do her flames?
You, the jazz drummer
Sitting on holy grief
Counting out cycles
Through worlds
Through worlds
I want to press piano notes to your lips
So it stains the otherwise reckless thread that grows out
An ensemble I’ll pour light over
Despite
Despite
