UNSONG



My Music is stuck
in
a
LOOP
Like Beethoven ranting
half deaf
His 5th
da da da da da da da da

I play
The same g minor sad chords
No uplifting chorus
No bridge to cut
the
tension
Angsty
Wordless
Beast

My fingers cannot
Will not find other keys
Until this mourning loop finds Its way
to Unfurl
Unroll
Unwind
Transform
into
a
Song
