Mozart in g Minor

Special's picture

Based on what I heard Tuesday evening on church street. The ECCO quintet playing Mozart's no.4 in g minor.

An argument of sounds 
is a dance of sorts-
a battle of chords,
taking swings with things
like a sharp and
g flats. the musicians,
I can imagine, would 
stand, a trance fueled 
by the music in their
hands
and give each other battle
scars, cock their 
violins like clubs & 
their bows like swords;
tangle in a
brawl of sorts- or a waltz. 

Music fills a room
with a humid 
atmosphere comparable
to that of a heated
fight- to that of
the maple dust
in my head.
Music has a smell like 
rosin or a 
forest cleared by flames. 
This music smells of
dust and sweat. of blood
and adrenaline. 
This music tastes of 
ballroom windows,
stainglass and sugarcoated
intentions. 
Tastes of wine bottles 
left askew, shards of 
shattered wood & wire;
dripping crimson liquid on
the floor.
