Communication Breakdown
Day 62b — Müllrose
Tuesday morning. After breakfast.
The side of the lake in Müllrose.
He took out his phone and showed me videos —
a rehearsal concert with his guitar teacher.
Mattheo, sixteen, learning the electric guitar.
Two songs.
Knockin' on Heaven's Door — Bob Dylan, 1973.
A dying man's prayer.
Communication Breakdown — Led Zeppelin, 1969.
Jimmy Page's riff. The only song they played
every year they toured.
I had not heard him playing for some time.
I told him what I heard — the acquired skill,
the hands that had been practicing.
Tears came.
Day 62b — Phase 9 — Hearing — Pericardium — Amethyst — Psalm 46 + Gospel of John
