Death Rattle

Tristan Robert Lange

The master's stroke,

The swift striking of a key,

Resonates throughout the vessel

Of poetic music made tonight.

 

Who will hear the tune,

Who will listen to its call

To delve deep into the aged heart

And extract the maestro's soul.

 

Everyone wants a piece,

To dine with the genius

Of the one who makes true music

Like the whisping winter winds.

 

The icy chiming strokes

Of fingers upon ivory keys

Beckons forth the ghostly presence

Of death's intoxicating rattle.
