I am done with dissonance
except where
it captures the complexion
of what surrounds
gives
taste of the chaos that
riddles through
harmony is the thing that
must nourish, bring together
harmony that
feels
like
impossible belief
when last, if ever, were
woken by wings
hovering above
taking angelic form?
just add a few Pratt and Whitneys
and there you have dissonance
what you figured might be
Michael, Uriel, Gabriel
drowning out the room
with clamour of regular comic
superhero
(or, indeed villain)
elevated to cosmic, epic,
mythical proportions
by virtue of three-
act structure, and titanic movie screen
already you can see it touch it
smell it feel it, let alone
hear it
this dissonance, every tiny
breath of harmony
here in me, here
in the poem
so desperate to distance from
quietly eschew.
