Leave of absence - with stonerjazz by sonic structures and silent stretches published on 2023-06-16T15:13:22Z method: There was this poem I'd written. I asked Jeff (stonerjazz) whether he knew what it sounded like. Jeff returned a full-blown, elaborate acoustic ballad. Mesmerizing! Just for fun and contrast , I weaved in some shoegaze. This is this song. Headphones are recommended. Thank you, https://soundcloud.com/user-911083679 ! narration: Basically, this is a second part to Vinyl Ventriloquist ("people are busy / completing first lines / ...."). People of similar age and interest will hear some allusions and few quotations. The working title 'amrita' refers to the Indian legend alluded to in the last verse. That milkmaid entered the poem via an idiom in my native language: Milchmädchenrechnung. poem / copyright jo richter: the milkman who used to collect and replace empty jars a figment of folklore now of pageants and rural farce streamed into raw senses tuned in to see to forget there is nowhere to head to now but right into your head far away, some milkmaid counts her hoard of subscription fees to gather gem regalia that match the icy queen‘s and all around the watchtower wild weeds rise and bloom swirls of living, breathing colour where feral painters roam the mountain king bequeathes fluid shards of liquid glass to his river daughters lunatics dwell on the grass and orpheus, oh orpheus sings and plays the lyre while a tribe of nanobots dances round the fire out of their caves, a race of intrepid homunculi swarm to join the merry carnival to feel the bliss, to risk the harm milky oceans churned by gods give birth to shapes and sounds while mythical milkmen undetered still make their morning rounds Genre poetry soundscape Comment by Witches of the Alamo Nice track guys!
