Dreaming of Satie

Weeping eyes dream, as do mine, in Satie's melancholic scene, haunted, his heartbeat, throbs in my throat, as I wait in stead, to capture, every breath of his notes, restoring all life, until morning finds, her blackbirds creeping, over bleach stained towels, hanging on my washing line.

I'm taking it, Satie, is a music guy, and by your poem, quite a good one. Great ending.
