V-Calming Lethargy

Yesterday I flew with my wings, I remember it well

Tenor saxophone and flute pieces in a void....echoes of a lost world.....

nettle seeds

he got locked out of her garden
before this springtime's floral bloom
as he saw her soft glance harden
saw different patterns on her loom

he found some fallow, barren wasteland
on a hill of thistles, nettles
to cultivate defiant plants and
to get scarred by willful brambles
 
go feed on nettle seed
thistle oil and fibre weed
there is nothing else you need
nutrient rich and bittersweet

haggard, thin and somewhat healthy
his medicine was on demand
to overcome fatigue and palsy
when there is nothing left to want

go feed on nettle seed
thistle oil and fibre weed
there is nothing else you need
nutrient rich and bittersweet

Nettle Seed-with Sonic Structures and Silent Stretches

I used a phrase from a comment I received from Stars Mighty Fine as the title.
First, I see a chaotic array of tones, and then I try to create some kind of structure from that chaos. I think the process of composing is simply trying to control the song and sound with all my might.

Empty Steps in the Hall

This is my response to this week's @naviar-records haiku challenge. Here's more information about that:

"Star above the peak -
a silk worm-breeding village
silently asleep"
 
Mizuhara Shuoshi was a 20th century Japanese poet. Shuoshi rebelled against the principles of emotional detachment in haiku, which he thought limited his ability to emotionally express himself through poetry: he started a magazine called Staggerbush which focused on a more romantic, lyrical type of haiku.

silently (naviarhaiku613)

A slow ascent through memory, solitude, and light; each movement shaped by invisible forces that guide and dissolve. The journey unfolds like an ancestral pulse buried beneath glass and silence, where each reflection carries weight and liberation. What begins in fragility ends in transcendence, leaving only the echo of the familiar.
