1. Music and Barbs

Noise without borders is what catches cats
The person, the place, the earth into ash.
Music weaves spells that pulls fireflies through:
A gilded dome nature blossoms inside.
Over the rainbow there’s a pot of gold
Or a cauldron, within which black ooze boils —

And sound, such sound, without glory or pride,
The soot over the eyes, cloying and blind:
Kills the soul, dousing endless flight.
The sweet song rings out, the clearest bell
Sweeping the ash: the words this battle tells And there, a nest of flowers: the coffin
Embroiled the fighter who fights Noise with Song.
