No indication of how life had sought to find the full texture of the death blanket.
A smile fragmented the coldness of his body lying amongst the rattle of papers strewn across his chest. He was a smiling corpse who had eaten the soul diseases of the world in his music and now full, he was in eternal digestion.
The white gloves took apart the scene hoping to find a clue to his demise. Forensic eyes studied intently every nuance, wandering into all corners of possibilities to awaken the cause of why a young composer in the prime of his life was now stilled with all his breath forever quiet.
His music was new, but old magic that touched so many….too many. The talk amongst the investigation was it was a crazed devotee who had to take out the maestro as there could be only one, a John Lennon copy cat killing.
There were some fans of his music that battled to place themselves as the primary muse and now on the eve of his retirement it may have been the impetus for some to loosen their restraints on reality.
An autopsy was the primary tool now to excavate the truth of why a body without blemish now slept in the dead wood. Into the mazes of arteries and complex organs the forensic medico’s sliced and sucked up remnant juices of a passionate fueled life.
Then there it was a glimpse of why, seemingly impossible in the realms of science. The eyes of the microscope magnified without denial the illogical was real. “He indeed did eat and breathe his music” someone said matter of fact.
No-one could explain how he had lived at all with such a malfunction in the primary organ of life.
To find one’s passion in life no matter when is of merit, for our music master had always lived with the final note of his last curtain call. In his heart was a small bone in the shape of a clef lodged under his aortic valve.
