Unable To Testify

Without bothering to go silent,
the music stores and concert halls have disappeared,
sluggish helicopters engulfed by mudslides.

The loitering of countless voices
has even made prices impossible,
the pawn shops filled with rocks and leaves.

Since electric troubles began transforming the guitar,
every now and then an obscure haunting note pops up,
this unlikely music that care never claimed.
