cantata


leisure.
the sky is sky
the earth is
normal soldiers
out inside

*

hidden outside
where the whisper
goes back alone
incredulous
incredulously

*

red boats
mainstream travel
dead cloaks
maintain dunghill
frightening beard

*

through the lacy afternoon
asleep on her shoes of metal
& the ladder goes nowhere or somewhere
the window shatters the hand blood-white
da capo

*

not included
corpse nature
river rhine
waste
frozen

*

through the garden
broken chair
through the chair
hair
despair 

*

op pop pop op
zooooooooooor
scrupulous detail
nailpaint / star-glaze
fur furnace fury furrily

*

they stand
their mouths
on stands
made from mouths
& storms (-stilly)

*

fell asleep in a dream
whispering fingers at the eyes
& kisses kisses
fell asleep in a dream in a dream
meadows & rotted / rotted & mellow. industrial

  1. I read your original cantata and now see it has been revised. Interesting changes, glad I got to see the funny/scarey head before it disappeared though!
