left to my own devices

I’d scribe an epic on a cherry pit,
play chariot to infinity,
turn tangent fate down every chance of alley
searching shadows
for perfection and anomaly
I’d paint a monstrous mural on a marble,
and accentuate the lashes
of Andromeda chained naked to the sea,
I’d play the martyr,
dashed upon the scar of mythic beauty
I’d transpose all harmonics of a note
unlocking every key,
give my final voice to drive the hammer
downsurged in resonance across the strings,
I’d be the pedal
to loose the whole of music through a C
