"Schubert on the Water, Mozart in the Din of Birds" Cal Bedient The problem is the core, or lack of same, a ghost must live here, it’s so cold.   Well, not “live.” And so, approaching the indefinite brink of you, I can be anything, eyes that can’t focus absent instructions come apart and the figures barely reach you with their love intact.
