Durable Music
by Vernon Frazer

The marriage ostinato wedding
red dawn to shadowed dusk
slowly lusters the holiday sunsets.

Lingering memories breathe
lapidary tapestries

ripple
lasting
pulses

past fenestral apertures
new overtures saddling
the music of their touch
pulsing threaded nectar

through shore’s lapping crescendo.
Distant wings

sing
azure
breezes

a durable music
over

tides of shared water
