And one with trembling hands clasps this cold head
And fans him with her moonlight wings, and cries;
Our love, our hope, our sorrow, is not dead

 
 
 
most other instruments are a surcharge don't-ya-know shed
beneath abandoned teeth - flats and naturals -
the lurid shine interprets the signatures, keys, sharps &
half-lit lonely weirdos of nature
