The Silence Was Death
Michael attacked the music
but the melody struck back
Driving him deeper inside himself
behind the sequence and the mask
Silence was death unspoken
and one that only he could hear
As the beat became his death knell
—a final moonwalk out of time
(Villanova Pennsylvania: December, 2015)
