Reckless hands fingers
seeking finding abandoning
a fountain of flame
playing the scales of the wind
with prodigious nonchalance
diminishing beneath the weight
of thoughtful composure
a searing triumph that twinkles
then pales fading against timeless
walls of percussive grandeur
below in the bluest shadows
the chorus collapses in a tumbling
cascade of dull-edged sparks
