THE AFTERMATH — REVULSION
THE AFTERMATH — REVULSION
(Three poems in one.)
Death of Music
The stench of death and of decay
Floats in the air about me today.
There and near and around blind walk the dead
Unknown to the chains in trance are led.
The killers proud walk among those blinded by the lies.
Time to say our final good-byes.
Empty
Empty.
They sit and laugh at comedic behavior
And believe the words of a false savior
Who walks proud and arrogant among the near dead
For the poison they drank and now blind are easy led.
No One is Home Today.
There is no one at home today
They all went out, went out to play
I alone chose to sit and stay.
And look at empty frames.
Places where age left stains.
For it is leaving, has left, is now gone.
I knew it; I felt it; they all went along.
But for the few, the few who knew.
The vision, the history, the truth, someone slew.

CAN YOU NOT HEAR THE MUSIC?
CAN YOU NOT HEAR THE MUSIC?
Copyright 2012 Gordon Kuhn
Can you not hear the music?
It is everywhere!
It is in the trees,
The bushes,
The very rocks at my feet!
Joy complete!
Can you not hear the singing?
The very choir that sang to Mozart
Sings to thee!
So sublime, so gentle.
Then a rush,
Building, climbing, towering, higher and higher,
To softly hang there so high up, to slowly roll over and then
in a cascade
Like water leaping off a cliff
Caught in the wind
The bases join the sopranos
And held suspended
Spilling over a boundless leap
Sprays out in billowing tumult of beauty soaring there.
Can you not hear the laughter?
It surrounds you and me!
It is everywhere!
In the grass, the weeds,
The clouds, the worms crawling at my feet
It knows not defeat
Do you not hear the wonder of it all?
A million violins sing out at once!
High and lifting higher,
Then come the trombones,
Strong voiced, strong willed
And my heart climbs with the trumpet notes!
Then she falls, tumbles with joy back into the valley,
With a light flute just touching the highest cloud in the sky,
And slowly sliding down a rainbow
Gently brings my soul back to earth
To the joy
To the beginning again and again
Can you not hear the music? October 31, 2012
NEW WINNER DECLARED
The replacement winner is Felix O’Shea. In addition, I asked Linnie Buhman to pick the number for the replacement winner and because of that she also is going to receive a prize.
Both will receive a copy of Rabbit in a Box signed by me. However, I need for Felix to contact me as I do not have a mailing address for him.
