Drowning melodies

"The unhappy person is one who is possessed by some idea which he cannot convert into action." --Goethe

the rising music in me finds no outlet;
it cannot wrench itself from
the pragmatism of survival
of the body that carries it.
this world favors toil over joy!
what can I say about the curse
that is not evident?
that which can only be expressed
through melodies
drowning.
