Classical Music

Jason Morphew’s first full-length collection of poems is dead boy (Spuyten Duyvil, 2018).

Ludwig van Beethoven’s death mask

Classical music
worries me
especially
Beethoven
when the
Budapest
String
Quartet
gets its
catgut
interwoven
I calm
myself by
thinking This
is a record
they released
surely no one
dies
but
research reveals
they’re all
deceased
which confirms
my best
suspicions.
