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.

Finally realizing I need to start acting like the main character in my own life. Writing helps me figure out where I keep losing the plot and giving away my spotlight. My story is a big mix of drama, comedy, tragedy, thriller, and, horror.
