On “Sligo River Blues – Original Recording” by John Fahey
(2/17/21) Plodding along, I hike To an ethereal song Which pulls me tenuously toward some celestial sky Though, I never arrive. A deep unknown sadness, Mountains of melancholy Collide violently; I am crying. I am crying on the banks of the Sligo.

Heavy World, Pt 2
The world feels heavy tonight, the weight of America especially. With massive opinions near the center and the edges, America feels heavy tonight. Heavy enough that such weight threatens to break America in two.
