last

is this the last note?
the quivering pinnacle
in this orchestra’s melody?

and what a melody it was.
crescendos building and building,
violins screaming.

wait — the conductor’s baton drops.
a loud clunk in dead silence –
it rolls and rolls and rolls off the stage.

ha ha ha. we are all laughing.
what a grand joke!
the devil’s play opens today.

and, for the final touch,
red ribbons fall from the ceiling,
unfurls from our body

as we hit the floor —
thunk. thunk. thunk.
it’s the last —

A/N: Inspired by Ten’s conductor performance on Hit the Stage…
