untitled (true music)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

untitled (former working title: true music)

 

 

 

 

as if one have
all the value judgements

in this—

 

tribulation period,

 

 

if only wind
instruments were
invented to share
a message, —

 

would souls
truly speak
in the present moment?

 

 

time & its insignificance

 

 

 

 

like metanoia
—a paradigm shift—
suddenly, anxiety
changing one's drift

 

 

 

 

from kabbalah
to phonetics
linguistics, semantics
hermeneutics of the Torah

 

from ancient

to the renaissance

what more can
one presage?

 

 

 

neither—

 

 

 

 

if a believer

prays to a false God

[of an othered religion]

permitted but

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

wronged sainthood

 

 

 

 

 

senile syllogisms & oblivion

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

—to one's own company (original working title: the music you play)

(original working title: the music you play)

 

 

 

 

are these leaves pure green tea,

to steep in a cup

designed so quaintly?

 

 

i know a type of

music, but not all things

jazzy

because there

could be drill rap music

which they—call—

classy

 

 

it's not a pretty picture
anymore for a degenerate

generation,

i think transnationalism

somehow creates a
nation

 

 

i just hope we don't fall
victim to this wake of
insanity—

to be foisted, with gradual

influence—to one's own

company—

can we escape this

       dystopian land?

if only touching hands

      would help this dreamland

 

most of us have planned

      for the morrow

though we still misunderstand

      the earnest flower of hinterland—

all are just these props


our heartbeats untranslated

Violins aren't

just the ones that make those sounds

How about cellos?

I have added the hashtag Karolina Protsenko in the hastags after discovering her violin playing and musicality a couple of days/weeks back.  Thank you.

Reedited 12.04.2019 (some sentence/paragraph emendations which included misspelling corrections & misidentified/misused words); 11.23.2019 (I have supplanted the previous commentary emendation); 09.04.2019:

 

that spur, was seemingly a corresponding familiar song (i.e., either something out of a Carpenter's song or its title), I simply then came to the conclusion that it was indeed an American/English idiomatic expression that relates to its real connotation (the expression, versus the Carpenter song title—contrastingly—where it was actually derived from, & whose real lexical meaning was what I also have meant to relay).  But not to outright convey the distinctively intended (versus an oblique intention) meaning.  Thank you for reading on.
