Let the song take root in the air at the ear and in the depths let it be heard regenerate a disordered heart overcome the dullness that refutes melody relieve the pain the atonal gorges on let it be sung again and again stubbornly without trimming one note one precious chord the songs persistence unstifled uninterrupted in thrall to birds who consider it a tune worth flying for.

I’ll fly for this one. Nice.
“overcome
the dullness that refutes melody”
