Fabric - Summon These Days (Music)

The reductive urge

The small room, the mike's not quite fitting 
the human instinct to create, not bound by 
defining attitude

sound more a whim, maybe need,
what would follow each night––

The instrument like a snake came alive, 
tentative at first, unloved, 
then wrapping its fevered fangs 
into my soul, some kind of 
​hypnosis

Okay now following the trail of noise, 
crumbs, instinct formed, destroyed.*

Written on discovering that my snake-centric 4Hflute has an antecedent in Patti Smith's three H's: hand, heart, and head. The fourth H is han m' eggs. I'm heartened to learn that this poet I avoided for many years (based on rep alone) did not do the drugs she seems to proselytize for on the first Lou Reed-penned track. "The only thing I am really nostalgic for is childhood. I would want to be 10 years old in the forest with my dog again. It was a pure time.” 

* Or deconstructed? ––that very '70s word.
