and let me wield the power of the flute
to play the song "transparent fool."
I begin to sing,

I begin to beat,
till i bleed,
till i bleed,
dancing to the song, "a siren's not mute."
Taking in the beat before silence meets the beast,
an ending to the life-
the life you dread,
a mistaken step taken
of things previously unsaid.
