LAMENT // COMPLAINTE

---

The still, clear emptiness that immediately precedes the tidal waves of grief and mourning. 

An arrested moment of time and memory - stillness before onslaught. 

A sharp intake and cold stillness before a drop.

---

I will sing four chords:

As strong as my breath can bare ;

As loud as my throat demands;

As clear as my chest will hold;

As long as my heart sees fit.
