andante to rhapsody: giacoso glissandro pizzicato....... #NaPoWriMo Day 12




we were born a dress of notes 
turning 7ths into 5ths, hacking 
melodies, digestible bitten tonal ores 
we were found music, the greatest language 
we surpassed math as unbreakable code 
quantum entanglement 
observation uncoded 
the bigwigs would say 


we just knew it as 
God's coffee cans 
piano wire between trees 

eyes talk a lot here 
we wear manic monster faces 
smiling angel guises well 

slab tablature 
we wear noted deaths during 
seasonal discontent 


in the wear 
our senses fall away, tadpole telemetries 
our knees on corners, pulpit squeeze boxes 
we collect the rain running off soul 
maple syrup and well versed 
in hole gravity, other slag happy barometers 
why we go death, our gold standard 

most days are dazed days 
early pop up warnings of warming systems 
when everyone wants to be vivaldi in the spring 
most times we send ourselves away 
map and compass 
the nearest suckle milk bar 
we give us instructions 
set and setting  
poems getting late to a finish 
needing a flourish 
to a rested pause 
dishing plucky starlight 
tombstone night 
we wear what we did 
when we played 
light, hearts 
we danced 
in the rain
