Footprints in the Windsm # 2013

The mirror

We honor so few generations
of ancestors before us
that it limits our
imagination
of the ones coming after us

how distant the echoes we hear
limits
how long ours are heard

Where O where did my past routine go?
Months and months it’s not been seen
But when I get this new vaccine,
Since I don’t want this old way back
What O what shall I do?

Music is primal

First the feeling
Now a search for cause
Only then arises an emotion

Here’s where Nietzsche’s thought that music is primal, preceding words and thought even takes me: something flows through us and out of us. Following from that is recognition, conception, search, and the building begins.
