Fanfar from Afar
(to Dimitiri Shostakovich)
With focused efforts
In language, resonances
Strung are left unsaid.
Vulgar, profane friction
Strings to bows
Framed in fame,
Fancy feet'n rags
Nomadic notes prance
Not free emergent joy
But dominant, dormant lament
Eight deranged drops of soviet blood
Immersed in Jewish songs
Cycled in ravenous applause
Babiyar, bulbs strung high
To brandish love's triumph
Over a Georgian Tzar.
Stale in rhetoric
Bear in a sterling grave
Manuscripts march in man's bugle
Symphony to war and blight.
