Encore
Day 18 of haiku/senryu inspired by songs
I wash blood from hands
mirror sees what I refuse—
play the song again
The song that inspired this is Maestro by Kaizers Orchestra which is in Norwegian, which I don't speak or understand. Years ago it found its way on to my playlist and I loved the way they said "Maestro."
I decided to look up what the song is about and yes, I referenced Wikipedia so not sure how accurate the info is.
The album Maestro is a concept album that takes place at a post-war psychiatric institution run by Dieter Meyer. The narrator helped build a brutal system in which many people have died, but he maintains that his conscience is clean.
