Weeknd Recitation

uplift
      my heart
dispel
      distress
cast off
       despair
begone

music tingle
           my spine
emotions
        realign

half dreaming
    ...dulcet
              slow
gently awake
'twixt night
    & reality
still
in no man's 
             land

now engaged
open
     ascending
           higher&
                    higher
presto
spinning
        round&
             around
escalate
    &wait

a repeat
      unfolds
phrase
     by
        phrase
skates
    then
      slides
stirring
into
action

continuous
     exhilaration
echos
     on repeat
from
   edifices
       of sound

strings
    that sing
harmonized
    into one
played
    breathtakingly
                 fast
dispel
my disquieting
           thoughts
