Each month I am adding to an on-going series of writings and works about Fine Artists who work, or are primarily working in the NYC area. This month I made a linked polyphonic/contrapuntal poem, meant to be recited by 2 people (to be read aloud at the same time, full instructions at the bottom) for NYC Fine Artist, Judith Murray.
The intimate along the right.
The flock of light gathers
Like melisma: solid then liquid
A breath still from silence
Always from its own speech
The fluid strokes unknown
Stoking the states of a soul
The intimate along the right.
The flock of light gathers
Like melisma: solid then liquid
Lay on the linen, over air
The square states context
Stretch and extend the flux
Dialogues in various dialects
Variation of dimensions in proximity
First hard then soft
Last micro than macro
Flowing orchestration in the primaries
Stoppages in the sensation growing
Local stellar parallax to ground us
The architectural frame vibrates
A line that ties and bonds
A fragment of lattice
A never ending shift in our perception
The perception of a never ending shift
Converging form from many
Pieces of pieces to many
A current but not from water
The wave and air went
A difference or relationship
Neither symmetry nor asymmetry
Variants and commentary are inclusive
Percent and proportion are unique
Shapes in the movement
Movement out of shapes
A fragment of lattice
A never ending shift in our perception
The perception of a never ending shift
Converging form from many
Pieces of pieces to many
A current but not from water
The wave and air went
A difference or relationship
Neither symmetry nor asymmetry
Variants and commentary are inclusive
Percent and proportion are unique
Shapes in the movement
Movement out of shapes
A breath still from silence
Always from its own speech
The fluid strokes unknown
Stoking the states of a soul
Please note/directions:
The text in regular style is meant to be read by one speaker/musician and the text in italic is meant for a different one speaker/musician, both are to be spoken at the same time. This can also be achieved by recording one of the voices then playing back or recording both voices then playing.
The hyperlinks are to be examined afterward.
