Offering

Offering (2014)

I should be able to stand here

close my eyes

and all the truth of the universe will flow through these sliding fingers

onto screen, ready to be seen

and understood.

And still

I stumble over words obscured

meaning less meaning

stranger and stranger repeated into pure sound of musical jibberish

divorced from meaning, like most reason

logically concluded.

I have nothing to say that you haven't heard before

and who has the patience to hear a thing again?

Certainly not me.
