CODA, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Midnight blossoms like a rose
Last Line: A violin dies away on the venus-wharf.
Subject(s): Bands; Music & Musicians; Orchestras


Midnight blossoms like a rose
I run foul of the gadabouts
the moment is wounded
I hear the rumbling of a giant orchestra

all the taxis have gone mad
a parrot flutters toward the horizon
I fathom the speechlessness of the stone

sleep in the arms of the well-beloved
a violin dies away on the Venus-wharf.
