'this business of music'


from shape to shape where losing shape takes form

those who can sleep  have no edge of time
it's memory that  cuts through this insomnia

where loss and fear of losing loss  are borne

the sound made there has no line
it's memory lost in neglect and vain nostalgia


 where the hope of the living  is to live off a graveyard

where
 daily
the dead bury
the  dead
 daily

at their own expense
through  unsigned contracts

with no one left to bury them when

where they make this sound without end
