Love in the Opera has a way of Finishing
Musical Chairs

love in the opera has a way of finishing
a motivational mania may skirt a deathwish
so
is it not better to have closure?
[l’amour] [la mort]
tristan thirsts on the seashore
counting sandgrains and pebbleshells
LOUDLY
where unicellular organisms languish
he awaits his irish child on the shore
softly
the alleged secret of the hiss
spirit of the shadow [surely]
sacred of seashells
mild and lithesome
finishing in the opera has a way of loving
a maniacal motivation may wish for a lifebloom
so
what can they expect to feel when the curtain drops?
[so hard] [so soft]
[how he smiles]
the italian pathos of a bloody wedding
of course my exsanguine lucy with her knife of lovelights
a glassy bird flutes to summon her absent mate
by lectricity in the voice and in the lighting
which makes the stagey paste faint pop up glow
wunderfly garish within the dolce sono
death in the theatre is a feast of loving
the lure that leads it on may be its poison
so
why not be prompt for the masque?
[so far] [now near]
[poverina]
slowly please she’s sad the poverina so sad slowing and when I am laid am laid in earth [loop] hear the lights so rich no trouble in the lament and the lure here remember me hear my suffering as a welcome guest here death is now but no trouble is now a welcome remembrance no trouble in my breast her explicative melodizing no troubles in thy breast remember my tune but ah Forget my Fate REMEMBER ME BUT AH FORGET MY FATE so slowly wozzeck slowly
o my dear pappykins cher
how i love ‘im
i jump into dis Arno
if you don’t lemme wed ‘im
love in the opera has a way of finishing
a motivational mania may skirt a deathwish
