MM.12:133CAROLINE ENNIS
tethered.
now watching
as smudges of synergy break
open and explode
like capsules of jazz
spilt loosely
its endlessly cognizant tilt
condensing smokily
outside the implosion
dizzy and
carved of music's impudent
memoirs raging in full swing
now watching, wishing
for one chance to release it,
into open air --
into parched ears --
simply loud enough
to let jarring insides
undulate
confess at last to
nights in which
this voodoo tempest blazed hardily
tethered
and febrile
beneath crescendo in crazed climax
emotion trying on hips
hewn from a drummer's artistry
itching to admit to guileless rhythm
where emptiness is magnetic
encroaching in contradiction
he will never tell her
