Finality - Feb 4 2021

 

Finality

Feb 4 2021


How satisfying to hear a chord

resolve.

The kind of finality

that is hard to find in life.


The problems

we strain to resolve.

Resolving to do

or do not.

Repeating mistakes

and re-solving again.

The resolutions

we make and break.


I am ignorant of scales

and cannot hold a note.

But the ear does not fail.

Something hard-wired

resonates in the brain.

Or perhaps familiarity

with the conventions of music

is why it feels so natural.


Dissonance

does not work as well.

The cacophony of the world

that never completes itself.
