The Cadences

Through the startling haze
a requiem cuts in bringing around
every memory is given to the euphony of light
: the sound of the lover’s voice
what you have to offer.
So song & frankincense
opens up the room
as though it were a page out of a book of spells
charged with magic
& you reach out to seize such dreams
with grappling hooks
as they continue
to drift by
on cadences beautiful
on cadences severe.
