Cadenza
The violinist's shadow vanishes
The husk of a grasshopper
Sucks a remote cyclone and rises
The full, bared throat of a woman walking water
The loaded estuary of the dead
And I am the cargo
Of a coffin attended by swallows
And I am the water
Bearing the coffin that will not be silent.
The clouds are full of surgery (of surgery) and collision
But the coffin escapes—a black diamond
A ruby brimming blood
An emerald beating its shores
The sea lifts swallow wings and flings
A summer lake open
Sips and bewilders its reflection,
Till the whole sky dives
Shut like a burned land back to its spark
A bat with a ghost in its mouth
Struck at by lightnings of silence
Blue with sweat, the violinist
Crashes into the orchestra, which explodes
(Blue with sweat, the violinist
Crashes into the orchestra, which explodes)
(Crashes into the orchestra)
The husk of a grasshopper
Sucks a remote cyclone and rises
The full, bared throat of a woman walking water
The loaded estuary of the dead
And I am the cargo
Of a coffin attended by swallows
And I am the water
Bearing the coffin that will not be silent.
The clouds are full of surgery (of surgery) and collision
But the coffin escapes—a black diamond
A ruby brimming blood
An emerald beating its shores
The sea lifts swallow wings and flings
A summer lake open
Sips and bewilders its reflection,
Till the whole sky dives
Shut like a burned land back to its spark
A bat with a ghost in its mouth
Struck at by lightnings of silence
Blue with sweat, the violinist
Crashes into the orchestra, which explodes
(Blue with sweat, the violinist
Crashes into the orchestra, which explodes)
(Crashes into the orchestra)
