I
Sonorous music for voice-- I hear
a short but elegiac,
pained
melody-- for long discarded
dreams of a simple life
and my heart
in fading aches.
II
Funeral music for voice-- I hear
a brisk but elegiac,
pained
melody-- for the restless
desire I have for quiet
and the tears
spill down my face
III
Tragic music for voice-- I hear
a long but stilted,
pained
melody-- for my shriveling
spirit, and I smile faintly feeling
a touch refreshed.
IV
Water music for voice-- I hear
a high but grounded,
pained
melody-- for the soothing blue
inescapable breeze, blowing sweetly
through every corner
of town.
