WAGNER WITH BREAKFAST
HE fevered strings, calculate trumpets, meet the woodwind fringe of morning to accompany marriage down the long aisles of infancy still the age of an island city’s street. HE bride walks out of sleep and into sleep; smiles upon crenellated love, unseeing the snares and snipers that beset her being, a dual target now, twin cause to weep. ROMAN TIC classic. Where Othello stands wrecked on his reef of love, or Hamlet struck, ivory and black in pose and mood, his luck lamenting, cadaver in kis hands. A LL dreams are lost, dispelled on breakfast air, The mood democratised-spent\in broadcast blare.
