Wow! This poem somehow manages to hold both the horrific and the beautiful within it, a metaphor for what life is often like.

If I listen to music as I write, my writing follows whatever mood that music brings me to. I have to be cognizant of what I'm listening to and what I'm trying to write. I can't be listening to Willy Chirino when I'm trying to write a funeral scene...know what I mean!

I know, such a powerful poem! And yes, the pairing of music and writing is an art form in itself!
