first soprano


a
be-headed

(time-pieced) observes

words
fly out of my piano key

slicing
quarter
notes to meet
your
need

to be-come
surreal (really)?

i spread orange mar-mal-
aid
its
silvered
image
bleeding openly on
my
toasted
tomorrows

as
range of emotion
delivers
first soprano to your
other
love

to your other lover

obscure
the missing hand
paused
(me)
silent

us?

question:
aria
final per-formance
