a church bell ringing
it's eight thirty in Tbilisi
men are singing in a nearby flat
earlier there was a flute player
crickets are chirping
the heavy metal door down stairs is banging
this keyboard is making clicking noises
I am typing: There is always something in the center of things
::: ::: :::
Picture: Is that light making sound?

Does the earth sing like a cricket

in heavens Earth sits quietly
Deletewhile I listen to your song
Is it the song of nevertheless?
DeleteIt is the song of redeemableness.
DeleteWhile contemplating this song, I found something about the origins of some old music:
Delete"-there were the fishermen of Sicilia who knew a song that would attract the fish. They got it from Orpheus, I suppose
-to fish, yes. But not to catch a fish, also
-I'll answer the call, anyway, when I hear it. I'll come, I'll swim. I'll sing"
That's an interesting find
Deletebut I couldn't tell you more
unless I were to invent it
myself.
I must admit, the song wasn't "in the center of things" and we shouldn't concentrate on the light and the open window.
