more on WORDS CANNOT CONTAIN
In a way, words cannot contain anything.
And yet words flow from us,
maybe in an attempt to contain
love and pain, life and living and death.
Here, poems about death, on death, grief poems.
You know where they come from -
yet in some way, they are so empty.
They try to contain everything.
In many ways,
they contain nothing.
They contain anything, as well -
they contain so much we bring to them,
so much that the words call up.
As for these words, they came
when I heard of the death of a friend's son.
We did, a few months later, a rough recording
of that song about death - but never did a more finished version.
Several years later, starting to work with another musician,
he was drawn to this piece. His music is different.
The first time, my friend himself sang.
This time the voice is mine -
and so strange, to try to live these words,
the words of a parent who has lost a child.
And yet, it was also not hard.
The first time I spoke the words to the music,
tears came, sadness flowed.
In a way, we can all live every experience.
In a way, that is what is best in humans -
our capacity for empathy and
living ourselves into the experiences of others.
