*for Leonard Cohen RIP* That holy voice that undid the buttons of dresses whispered them off shoulders onto the floor; songs that celebrated the pellucid sky of Greece; the dark confessions of hustlers and junkies; Abraham poised with the knife of obedience; the desperate Hallelujah of broken kings; razors in the hands of beautiful losers; generous assignations in dingy hotels; the singular Glory of the god of Art; spoken in the minor chords of death; celebrating the discordant mystery of life; danced to the very end of love, never missing a step.

The Secret Chord
*for Leonard Cohen RIP* That holy voice that undid the buttons of dresses whispered them off shoulders onto the floor; songs that celebrated the pellucid sky of Greece; the dark confessions of hustlers and junkies; Abraham poised with the knife of obedience; the desperate Hallelujah of broken kings; razors in the hands of beautiful losers; generous assignations in dingy hotels; the singular Glory of the god of Art; spoken in the minor chords of death; celebrating the discordant mystery of life; danced to the very end of love, never missing a step.
