Music soothes...
Each day I wake up
with my eyes and skin ablaze
I try to sooth them with old remedies
and useless medieval ways
one day, ill cut off my hair
and set fire to all my clothes
I'll paint my body red
and rip this silver ring from my nose
I'll let the scavenger birds spread their wings
and fly in a colony across the night,
They'll frantically circle the earth
scouring every contour and every height.
I'll stop and listen patiently
to a nearby string quartet
as they begin to strike melancholy
and offer their songs of sweet regret
Each of them
will savour a dimly lit chord
they'll entertain the menacing clouds
with an ill mannered pause.
and I will sit cross-legged
at a slight remove,
I'll let their strings speak to me
until the harmonies conclude.
and just like their bows
all frayed and some torn
I have come undone
but will have been reborn.
with my eyes and skin ablaze
I try to sooth them with old remedies
and useless medieval ways
one day, ill cut off my hair
and set fire to all my clothes
I'll paint my body red
and rip this silver ring from my nose
I'll let the scavenger birds spread their wings
and fly in a colony across the night,
They'll frantically circle the earth
scouring every contour and every height.
I'll stop and listen patiently
to a nearby string quartet
as they begin to strike melancholy
and offer their songs of sweet regret
Each of them
will savour a dimly lit chord
they'll entertain the menacing clouds
with an ill mannered pause.
and I will sit cross-legged
at a slight remove,
I'll let their strings speak to me
until the harmonies conclude.
and just like their bows
all frayed and some torn
I have come undone
but will have been reborn.
