Specific

Accrued By David Jacobi

Some months later

the fires of passion

recalled European music

observed in the night air

in no uncertain terms

Observing the sacrifice of God

As a living spectacle of antiquity

In the infinite blue night

Of a blind nightingale

I began to understand

the attraction that affected me

a chill, you have it or you don’t

the wellspring of exact definition

To be more specific

there are roots dug deep

in the very ancient culture

that no philosopher can explain
