Dissonance was uninvited
with discord partner
Rapture wanted sought-after invitation
What reached my sleepy ears
Hesitant chords of
attempts at lilt
Turned me into an
unwilling choir director
Imbuing, cajoling, a
plucker of unwillingness
Cacophony acquired another
name
Showing the struggle with
sweet harmony
Not its fault, this insufficiency
Blown, scattered where
they lay
Buffeted by nature’s
powerful mouth’s air
Caused unpredictable migration
They landed where they
landed
Unorganized orchestra of
unawareness
No longer cosseted by lack
of wind
Bullied into attempts at
musicology
Discordance, the nature of
their product
Caused the body to
burrow, to find escape
To be spared, to be
released from bondage
Helplessly bound in bedchamber
Shut eyes no shelter from
inner turmoil
Not music, this
apprentice’s jarring
Stingy rain droplets
frustrate musical blend
No mellifluous perfection
here
No blending of different sounds
Scattered drip-pause-drip
of inconsistency
Chased sleep away with
alacrity
This choir director failed
woefully
Rain’s authoritarian dictatorship trumped
My gentle attempt at
musical sanguinity
--My dream has loved paper so much for so long because it gave influence to the parched voice of a fashionista poet. Finding this outlet, that voice is now replete with expressive sound.
