as a simple description ends
the scene on the page
blends with the soft notes
that seep in and each measure
stimulates the air; flickering in and
out of the drifting imagination as
curls of signifying music butterfly
about, the paths rendered
the exact color of the sound
and tickles of conversation are a
part of the stage as well as
lyrics that drift on this
wing-brushed air of supple atmosphere
between the characters
is hidden your ear
an invisible shadow
of mind which can
touch, smell, see, and taste
and also hear
how it all wraps together
the supple dream
and its deeper meaning,
its flutter by ghosts
