NOW SEPTEMBER WILL TRY TO DIE

Tuck in your shirt-tails, flapping free in the great heat since May month. A few degrees cooler is no bad things; it enables me to think tones again, slap down a motif, a chord, even a rhythmic idea. Thel ake keeps its warmth, an immense mass of volcanic water ( arsenic ? sulpher ? ).
So all in all, there´s new movement. You sleep better, visualize a theme. ” Pre-composition” , I suppose. Water lapping Yeatsian; the countryside Keatsian. Fair enough for September nectarines and kiwis and peaches and “fragolini” grapes. Yummie!
If music is also metaphor, is September music in any sense the harvest home?
