Musical Architecture

blocks fall

nobody explains the rules

but you can hear them

organize everything

before the ceiling

colorful buildings

leaning against each other

slide around tired

like a long

tedious day

you wait

for the miracle piece

and for five seconds

your composition

makes sense

the game speeds up

a storming rain

of blocks

you dance

to the rhythm of the avalanche

to me

it’s musical architecture

empty space waits

maybe it never comes
