Anna Couani #109 chords

the jazz chords on guitar

suddenly flowering

suggest flowers

maybe a floral tapestry

but those things are not exactly tangible

and I used to feel that painting and music

were mute

that you couldn’t speak

or articulate things in those media

at a time when

conversely

people were saying that art and writing

could not have a political effect

so unsettling, that idea

to feel that nothing you did could help

but wrong

because why else would writers

get locked up or shot

and even music has been banned

rightly so when it can dive below

and subvert our consciousness

come back at you
with blues lyrics that speak to millions
