"The Beginning of Memory"

The Beginning of memory

There's a story in an ancient play about birds called The Birds
And it's a short story from before the world began
From a time when there was no earth, no land.
Only air and birds everywhere.

But the thing was there was no place to land.
Because there was no land.
So they just circled around and around.
Because this was before the world began.

And the sound was deafening. Songbirds were everywhere.
Billions and billions and billions of birds.

And one of these birds was a lark and one day her father died.
And this was a really big problem because what should they do with the body?
There was no place to put the body because there was no earth.

And finally the lark had a solution.
She decided to bury her father in the back if her own head.
And this was the beginning of memory.
Because before this no one could remember a thing.
They were just constantly flying in circles.
Constantly flying in huge circles.

(by Laurie Anderson, Homeland)

When The Whole Library Burns Down

For My Lovable Old Father:

"World Without End
I remember where I came from.
There were burning buildings and a fiery red sea.
I remember all my lovers
I remember how they held me.
World without end remember me.
East. The edge of the world. West.
Those who came before me.
When my father died we put him in the ground.
When my father died it was like a whole library
Had burned down.
World without end remember me."

(Lyrics by Laurie Anderson, Bright Red, 1994)

Note: My dear old father is still here. Thankfully.
I was just so inspired by Laurie Anderson's great and beautiful lyrics.
I'm trying to be prepared for
"when the whole library burns down."
