In the beginning there was tumult.
Someone called for silence,
for diligence
and then for love.

A man stood up and said:
“How can I ever make it clear that I really,
really . . . ”
“What?” the people around him cried. “What?”
“ . . . do not despise you?”

and that man kissed children falling from the sky,
women flowing past in slow muddy streams,
mothers in their glistening cocoons,

and among the people loneliness erupted,
like thunder in summer.
O summer!

__


what light fear blanches 
the alarm
the photographic
hours delay waking until 
sleep again

concede it to a grey- 
not-love, the morning calls 
with no promise 
to refresh

& weighting is beyond 
this hour, each word 
a serious intent, an 
object pain

there are only so many 
Messages of Love
I can send to you
while we are both awake 
the ocean becomes dark 
we trade symbols of hearts 
freely and in colour

— Caitlin Doherty

While we are both

Cassandra Miller 'Tracery : Lazy, Rocking' (2017) is part of a new modular work, 'Tracery', for voice and fixed audio. This module features no live performance, but uses the process common to all parts of the piece, that of Juliet trying to sing along to a piece of source material whilst performing a body scan meditation. In this module the source material is the second movement of Ben Johnston's String Quartet no. 8.
