Mozart's grave encounter

one a shadowy
December
day at dusk

hark his invincible
songs -

the stone figure's
invisible pride
composed -
burst of beautiful
talent silenced
2 centuries ago -

a pauper's grave
necrologically positioned
never found
postulated for posterity
somewhere oddly
off in vibrant Wien -
yet this immortal
melodious
miraculous mass
of Mozart's magic
imaginatively spins
around this
false funeral
separated sepulchre
on this wintry

dark day in December

Mozart's muse's gift:
pax vobiscum.
