Lucia Berger

Detachable Groove



Wild honeycomb lays underbrush,

Envisioning a life completely

Untouched.

 

Alone to itself, alone to its own,

Escaping the melody, rhythm and

Tone

 

Far from recognition,

Be reclusive, apart, was his

Mission.

 

but he lies

 

Desolate in the doldrums,

a. b. a. n. d. o. n. e. d.

 

But the music he needs,

Dying without the buzz of

Bees.

 

The groove restored, a brush revived,

Only the remnants of his loneliness will

Survive.
