THE VOICE GIVEN OVER TO SOLILOQUY

Blast from the past 01 20 02 Gyorgy Ligeti: Austrian composer

On this day
I may have said things
that incriminated me.

How may I not insinuate
bloatingly,
that the clouds-
sunbathing eight degrees above zero-
melted tonight
in the tectonic spark of my voiced
animosity ignition,
without fessing up
to detecting the strains
of an old dead friend
in a banshee choir's
steady Ligeti pitch,
high enough to haunt my head
and not natural enough
to debody me through the window.

Never mind:
lesson learned,
boundaries reinforced,
they will subside
so I can dissolve
in the protocol of the mute
and socially desolate.

Oh, those moments... most contentious - everything amp'd up - raw and ragged, earth shaking one moment then calm the next. Most unsettling prose.

Indeed...I do everything in my will to steer clear of drama in my life but there's no hiding from it sometimes...and I'm usually left wondering if I should say something or keep my mouth shut...and I always seem to pick the wrong option whether I follow my gut or not haha

[Kenneth The Poet]

Interesting write. Quite thought-provoking I think.
