Chord
When the music dies
and there's nothing left to sing,
when voice fades to night...
in absence of words worthy
of melody, what is left?
Breath, alone, is vain,
and poetry's want becomes
the soul's starvation;
waiting, in tuneless wonder,
watching the death of beauty.

One of my favorite things about the fediverse is how easy it is to compartmentalize my interests, and still have the amount of crossover that I want.
This was meant to be my FAFO #fuckaas shitposting account. I've had another for a while under my Saintless handle, that I have reserved for mostly tech stuff, but I'm also stuffing politics there, because the two are currently inseparable topics. And I guess when I'm wearing jorts, it feels like I'm writing, or thinking about #writing.

Maybe, but the ability to sing one's own melody may. Or, at least, seem to do so.
