the symphony of the Dead - 9:12 AM

178 20 14
                                    


my fingers are constantly tapping away 

tap, tap, tap! on the coffee mug, on the table, at my temples

my feet are never quite at ease with their incessant shaking -

my body is dancing to the beat of my anxious disposition, you see

the madness is only strengthening as I let the horrendous 

music get louder and louder 

a magnificently calculated disarray of notes strung together

with haste and marinated in unease 

the stupendous concoction 

brings the audience 

into a convulsive state of ecstasy 

my enigmatic energy transferring

into their sickly bloodstream

ever so smoothly like it belonged there

(it never does, it never quite settles properly) 

the night rolls on in wondrous delirium,

impending Death is on the tip of our narcissistic tongues

(a gift from the cosmos)

and cynicism is behind the aches in our spindly spines

but the music urges us onward!

onward to our self-destruction,

we can taste it! we can taste it!

Death is in the air
