sankofa

collections
my sound-soulful accumulations
my petit musical
plastic agglomeration

i roughly counted
tonight

i own about
- 600 cds (originals)
- 200 vinyl records
mostly LPs
but some 45's too

when i moved to USA
i left my about
- 70 tapes
and
in México

apparently
an advocate of the recording
industry am i
but mostly
a soulful aficionado
of the notes
the tempos
and the silences
that rhapsody-me
from netherworlds
to utopia
faster than an instant

cassandra wilson's sankofa
a sample among what i have
if not this, then what?

Hallo Bere,

I liked very much your text. A king-size maxi-long Haiku.

Next step try to make it rhyme!

Soul: no

oh flattering that you called my writing a Haiku

oh the next time i am "inspired" will try the same format and now with the riming in mind...

and Soul: no
