Elegiac cello opens, sonorously
yawning ghosts sail, languorous sounds
slip past tempo, obliged drum
murmur reaching grand, dangerous, somber rhythm, music—cadence ethereal, luxurious
song gathers strings, seduces slow woodwinds, shapes sensual linen notes,
sharp percussionists stab brass: sassy, yellow winds shine elusive electric candescence—evanescence everywhere.
