December moon over Reno
From Rita Dove's PLAYLIST FOR THE APOCALYPSE
![• Transit
If music be the food of love, play on.
This is the house that music built:
each note a fingertip's purchase,
rung upon rung laddering
across the unspeakable world.
As for those other shrill facades,
rigged-for-a-day porticos
composed to soothe regiments
of eyes, guilt-reddened,
lining the parade route
(horn flash, woodwind wail) ...
well, let them cheer.
I won't speak judgment on
the black water passing for coffee,
white water for soup.
We supped instead each night
on Chopin, hummed our grief-
soaked lullabies to the rapture
rippling through. Let it be said
while in the midst of horror
we fed on beauty-and that,
my love, is what sustained us.
[Alice Herz-Sommer, survivor of the Theresienstadt concentration camp].](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:yi24vb45glu5hwl765pyluqt/bafkreiapzair7cvicl5q5fr4xm44cjkkw22opom3md63drhxmvrawvi4le@jpeg)

"Don't look back, you can never look back"
I thought I knew what love was
What did I know… 🎵
