A Lament
Posted: Thu May 15, 2025 4:09 am
hi friends,
a song, or at least the song name, dedicated to Leonard. remembering what he said once, in some beautiful interview, "never Lament lightly". : )
this is the direct address for the song: https://dtlp.art/track/a-lament-road-of-loss
the lyrics are here ...
What is left on the road of loss
when all one has is stretched
across its back
when one’s material
is fully distributed?
What is left on the road of loss
when the whole army of tears
has been deployed
when even the last heirloom of hope
is on the table?
Who are we when
the context is stripped from the body?
Who are we when
the soul is confined to pure acceptance?
Who are we when
the secret home of security
is no more real than any passing memory?
The surprise of grief
the unexpectedness of it
the lonely thread of betrayal
lingering amongst the weeds
of what once was
of who we thought we were
of what we thought would last
Its part of a nine song project with an ensamble of musicians here in Mexico City, called Dark Tones and Even Light Pinks (www.DTLP.art)
luv.
