Void’s Oratorio

by Douglas Blazek

Playing keeps pleading
its arrogant instrument
to liberate the key
locked in a learning
metaphysically heard.

Language practices
practical tactics
for impractical ways
to daily play.

Natural speech
is no masterpiece, just
a fundamental drum
mentalling assumption’s
common ensemble
scoring its noise
as void’s oratorio

a maestro’s kairos
in air–raid air
keeping time a theory
eerie to the ear
no siren can bare.

Voluminous above
the usual truths,
algorhythmic music
out–pitches cargo’s
Parachutes
Verse–by–verse
slowly decoding note’s
stowaway universe.
