Melodic Incumbency
By Virgils Vigil
One night, I was
Murdered in my sleep
And was better off for it.
When I awoke,
The transitive symposium
Malediction collapsed,
And I became perfused
By memories
Of obsessions unfulfilled.
As if my thought were a note:
Struck,
Yet not sustained.
As if my consciousness is a chord
Progression progressing,
But never resolves;
I continue to pursue
In condition
Of discretion, unfulfilled.
