Undoing Perfection

filthy ungues squirm

pure light

 

Evil wants to be repaid in kindness

 

his long red shadow

eclipses her angelic heart

 

the fluffy white pallet of December

stained forever

 

nothing left to embrace

 but endless cold

In jazz improvisation, there's a concept of "space between the notes" novice improvisors try to play lots of notes per beat, per chord change. But the experienced jazzers let space happen, so the notes can sound, fall, speak where they want to, are supposed to and grab the audience by the neck.

This piece has huge spaces. The mind at vacuum between each verse, each riff. Go ahead R.G. and take another 32 bars.
