Holiday from grief​/​O frondens virga

by Reticence

/
1.
O frondens virga, in tua nobilitate stans sicut aurora procedit: nunc gaude et letare et nos debiles dignare a mala consuetudine liberare atque manum tuam porrige ad erigendum nos.
2.
Oroborously
3.
O blooming branch, you stand upright in your nobility, as breaks the dawn on high: Rejoice now and be glad, and deign to free us, frail and weakened, from the wicked habits of our age; stretch forth your hand to lift us up aright.
4.
Directions, left turns when right. Loose leanings mouth sounds, caregiving, care received, care needed for feeling relieved once when the sentence died when I left before I meant to before I knew what Up was what down could do back to you when skin is so much lovelier I won't forget I won't remember mask discarded built up strip by strip dipped with honey water lovingly placed a transmutation, a crow, a holiday from grief

about

O frondens virga is a text by Hildegard von Bingen. Text in the lyrics section of each track. The source audio is from Wikimedia Commons.

“And you, what do you seek?” is a line from Mount Analogue by Rene Daumal. Spoken wisdom by Rachel Riverwood.

"Holiday from grief" is for Rachel Riverwood, who wrote the poem found in the lyrics section, and who is my favorite being in the universe.

Thanks to Andrew Cramb, Rachel, Jeremy Withers, and everyone else who liked and listened.

Manipulated, played, recorded, written, and unmastered by Reticence in December 2019/January 2020. Reticence is Aaron Riverwood.
