A love letter to the Opera

Heartbroken laughter

A clatter of fools

Chirruping egos scratch at the glass

Eviscerated by melodrama

Mused in the soul of

Violin-tortured, harpsi- chorded

Lungs trumpet up, drumbeaten down

And she sings! Pouring from her throat my malady

Naked as a soul, emotional catastrophe

Eons beyond drama.

Untrammel your soul, human!

You are in the presence of greatness.

Heartbreak is seasonal. Opera is forever.
