Internal Strings

The two are slow and inelegant. But the orchestra retains its complex symphony angry string section violins of summer heat. Frenetically mating in the season of apartness four or six or more freedom of so many steps. Two are constrained can barely become four. Not a simple merger of feeling and taking; driven to connect those bringing more seek so much less. Perfunctory; easily satisfied not yearning for understanding grasping only for feeling And still we must have meaning. We must be seen and understood not just answering a mindless drive - lesser need uncoupled with emotion.
