Acoustic synesthesia
martie 12, 2008
This will be brief as the sounds on my tongue, the words, the pieces of song
Yet unspoken, like the letters unbroken, like the pictures that burned
Smoke and grief, pain and shudder, then the night that would give
No relief. This will be hard as the scream on my tongue, like the taste of the blood of a Lord
That stayed cold. No salvation, and we’re all caught in this awe and divine admiration for a fraud
Or at least so I’m told. But I swear this brief moment will come out just as fair like the laws of reaction that is inversely linked to a sort of
Attraction for the new, for the old. What is there, in that place, in that web called emotion is the soul that
I spate after coughing up pieces of a meaty devotion to life. Yes, my life will be
Brief as the sounds on my tongue, like the words and the pieces of song
Yet unsung and unspoken, like the letters unbroken, like the pictures that burned
Smoke and grief, pain and shudder.
G.
