listening to hachig

listening to only
your armenian
offerings
    shivali over
    and again 
    your govand
   
and daldala
our kiughagan bars
these natural airs
our highland ayres
and noble peasantry 
centered, grounded, 
and rooted in
an idyllic past 
that only music 
keeps best alive

and now...
your essence 
your best
a soft and
soaring lament
a taksim 
timeless in
timelessness
carrying us
to our lost lands
on your reedy breaths
almost covering 
the holes 
    in our hearts
    our livers and
    our collective
    souls
