tempest din


music notes floated out as smoke 
into the cold sharp air 
hands wove around waists in and out of grasp 
knees and hips jumped onto the swell of sound
ravaging pulse, greedy fingertips gnawed
so many bodies drowned under the foaming beat 
dizzy-headed stalks swirling in wind tunnels 
clodding feet gave in to the heavy sway of wine laden lids
turning mouths curled into themselves in rapture
and memory drifted out of minds until 
slowly elbows fell over wooden shoulders 
and instruments came down like 
tired leaves
