Tchaikovsky’s outrageous cannons


Bring forth a stir as groundbreaking
as Tchaikovsky’s outrageous cannons
this straight line needs a curve - or sharp turn
few birds in flight keep it that way for long
for fear is a stranger and daring is life
bring forth a stirring, I say
it's no use being lifeless while living
the eye casts upon the familiar no more
and the spirit yearns for a twist.
