Impromptu

wrestling with
myself since i 
need to stop
writing

this is
my nineth
symphony deaf
Beethoven conducting

but i love
Berlioz if those
who know added an
extra movement to his loved

work it's not
nor is there profit
just the promise of a kind word

but back
to my symphony
musical poetry being sylabacally

with
or without
the beat doesn't

matter as
long as i keep
time with the deaf

conductor
my eyes on his
eyes but his ears are far from here

in his 
head but i'm  
in my head so instead

i only
take cadance
and escape from his

baton telling
me now is the time
but i'm timpani part melody

i can
play notes
as written as wrote

don't
bore us
with the choir
