Erasure poem (#2)

Among the secrecy of music
The trouble went on, lightly
Glance upwards and
Fumble For Words
Tell a story to pass on to the next still heart.
Good lord,
The last few hours fled, eagerly
Enthusiasms that betrayed this moment
Turn back to the deep, resonant tones and rippling notes
Don't you want to know the words?
The confusion that was overwhelming her, numbing her senses:
The circle of light
Glimpse the quizzical eyes.

Wow! All that from the Harlequin. I loves it. Such interesting combinations of words...

This is awesome! My fave line: "Tell a story to pass on to the next still heart." For some reason, I think of an ear too.
