Mishima

Mishima

Who was it heard who understood

Within the harmonies of Mishima

By Philip Glass were the melodies of

Erik Satie

Piano and string quartet

Transport me to enticing Maya Sabha

Memory

Madeleines of Proust sweet and bitter

Every sunbeam moment through the
Window 
Holds potential for another note a

Sound to rend the heart

Joy in the encounter of a new soul in the 

Pantheon where enters such a column of light

Raphael rises from his rest

Hadrian embraces Antinoos

How is it on this cold sun filled day

How is it there is music in my long lived life

How is it in this period of adjustment

That the strike of a piano

Key
The soft friction of a violin
Are fine Sebastian's arrows

Mishima's ecstatic sword entering my flesh
