Transmission


Another dreary December day during which 
closed winter windows keep my mind incubated.

Outside, twisted black branches reach across
a cloud covered sky, creating inverted Unknown Pleasures 
artwork.

Mundane spikes of sound interrupt my stasis:
cars, dogs, sirens, planes, trains.

But then a solitary songbird breaks the din 
with a distinct tone: Ian Curtis perched on
melancholy.

In this moment, I realize reincarnation 
is not a rebirth but a transmigration of mood.

I could call out when the going gets tough
Things that we've learnt are no longer enough
No language - just sound - that's all we need know
To synchronize love to the beat of the show
- Ian Curtis
