….these are indeed
days of silence
quiet questions
fending off
answers
like beethoven
pleading
the fifth
navigating
through inner ear
oceans
to hear
cords
just beyond
the audible
dropping
hammer
on anvil
in stirrup
to limbo
under notes
that go
so so low
just before
crashing
out of
hearing
yes yes!
these
silent
violent
queries
are just
so much
prep
I wait
for the climaxing
ode
in the 9th
and yet….
