Silent Applause
Dipped in frenzied simpatico
as easily as tango's release
the lyrics changed course
toppling over stances
notes were stacked
against the flight
stomping on horizontal
chaotic dancers,
music beating shrillingly
off key serenades
wafting midst dark leather & feathers
tripping edges' rapturous chants
of deep bass in the chest,
giving off sultry chills
covered in heavy cloaks of jazz & finesse,
strutted neath the pallor
of indigo moonlight
teetering on ledges of flimsy
tightrope convictions
holding no culpable meaning,
floated til whorling muses stumbled
to inevitably crash & burn,
whilst same tunes bellowed deafening
guttural melodies injected
into symphonic lures,
played like a fiddle at
chords of quarter tone sharp,
complicated steps spun 'round & bout
faltering over harmony's concerto,
cacophonous symposium brought music
to a screeching halt,
all that remained was silent applause
