Cecilia Vicuña (b. 1947) is a Chilean poet, artist, filmmaker and political activist whose work "dwells in the not yet, the future potential of the unformed, where sound, weaving, and language interact to create new meanings". She joined me on Parallel Lines on Wed 28 Sep 2016 for an interview with artistic directors of @liquid_architecture Joel Stern and Danni Zuvela as well as the Melbourne-based Chilean artist Camila Marambio, ahead of Liquid Architecture's 'Why Listen To Animals' project running from 29 Sep – 22 Oct 2016. Here, she reads her poem 'Word & Thread'.

hope sandoval and the warm inventions - suzanne

The amazing voice talent is from Joli, a kind and loving Hungarian, with some experience with Gypsey's from her time living in Europe. Music is from various lost recordings including Russian gypsy violin and some crooning from the early 60s.

The Gypsey’s Warning

Trust him not O gentle lady,
Though his voice be low and sweet:
Heed him not whom kneels before thee,
Gently pleading at thy feet.
Now life is in it’s morning
Cloud not thy happy lot,
Listen to the gypsey’s warning,
Gentle lady trust him not.

Lady once there lived a maiden
Young and pure, and bright, and fair.
But he wooed he moved and won her,
Filled her gentle heart with care.
Then he heeded not her weeping,
Nor cared he her life to save,
Soon she perished, now she’s sleeping
In that cold and silent grave.

Lady turn not from me coldly,
I have told you, but the truth;
From a term of withering sorrow,
Lady I would shield thy youth.
I would shield thee from all danger.
Shield thee from the tempers snare
Lady shun that dark eyed stranger
I have warned you now beware
Lady shun that dark eyed stranger
I have warned you now beware

Keep your gold I do not want it
Lady I have prayed for this
For the hour that I might foil him
Rob him of expected bliss
Ah I see thy looks of wonder
At my looks, so fierce and wild
Lady in that church yard yonder
Lies this gypsy’s only child.
