winter soldier, pt 2

so mercury is retrograde again, my site went down temporarily and communication is... underground. it seems to swim backwards in the sky at times of retrograde, much like movement forward, as though standing still. but its not, and the movement is just deeper and harder to detect. that's what my friend judith used to say.

the pre release song will be up shortly, fyi. you can check out the austinmusicdownload.com site or minstrelsdaughter.blogspot.com in the coming week for it.

if people dont vote in a trick election, or enlist to do rich men's dirty work, or allow their children to be recruited by the us army to do it, well, you do the math. maybe we'd pay artists instead? and there'd be a whole lot less karma cleanup for all of us. i am no less guilty than these.

have you read rilke's book of hours, love poems to god? there's one:

my voice grew in two directions
and became a scenting and a cry;
one will prepare the distances,
and the other must be face and blessedness
and angel of my loneliness.

may both voices accompany me
when I am scattered again in city and fear.
they will serve me in the fury of our time
and help me to make a place for you
wherever you need to be.
