“Hazy Sky”

どんよりと眩しい刃花曇り小さい不首尾な冒険のおわり

Light cloudy sky. The sun has a halo. When I hold the blade of a knife up to the light, it is a drowsy glare. Life is a tiny, unsuccessful adventure.

In Greek myth, Pyrrha is the daughter of Epimetheus and Pandora. She marries Deukalion and, as a couple, they repopulate the earth after a mankind-eradicating, devastating flood brought about by moody, irritated deities. Rampant symbolism is the trademark of her story, setting free new hope after the tragedy and being protected and being held by a natriarchal vessel. There is no round-character-equivalent to Pyrrha in the more patriarchal myths of Utnapishtli or Noah. Deukalion (son of Prometheus) being her first cousin, a strong whiff of ancient incest (as institutionalized in Egyptian culture) cannot be denied. 
method: actually, there is not a single loop involved and most of the "instruments" are played with drumsticks ;-)

Pyrrha / copyright jo richter:

wer kann von sich behaupten
wenn geschichte landunter
nicht gilt, was wir gestern noch glaubten
und hofften mitunter

vom roten lodern
bleib ich als glut
womit menschen hadern
glimmt weiter als mut

die knochen der mutter
des vaters blick
steinwurf am gatter
der alte trick
mein herz atmet bang
der tag riecht nach anfang

interlinear translation: pyrrha // who can proclaim / with history drowned /  invalid what yesterday held up /  what we used to hope for // red flaming leaves me / behind, smoldering / what people do not agree with / will light anew as courage // mother's bones /  father's watchful gaze / throwing stones at the gateway / the usual way / my heart breathes faintly / for the day smells of beginning
