gathered by baluster strings for a long lasting run

illusions of melodies with adoptive parents
of neume notation, adrift in the memo
she sings of disenfranchised suspicion
delving in the air like climbing property
tonight we stage a coup from the baluster
of the high brass among the bass notes
chafing too loose to be gathered by strings
damned in the wastewater of love songs
taken to track by the unexpected symphony
where casual driving to the western coast
steals memories from the air of the conductor
