Mermod Frères
The Will of Fr. O'Malley
Sly tinkerers slow tinker in grandly queer labor
Pitting each tooth to the cylindered comb
Locked in precision and processed in kind
Coiffing the air in soothing arrays.
Melodic machinations afoot
Inert silence held fast on a tube
Stampedes of canonical motion unsprung
Caramelized confections bless the ears.
Each note sweet-honeyed, prickled precise
Timbre-honed in coraled paths of melody
Metallic musical adventures in motion
Course mysterious parts of my mind.
Tinkling rings discordant 'til tinkerers tinker
Aligning the unfocused sense of it all
And flow mellisonant to ears unfettered
As Sirens' songs too dear for heroes' ears.
