Dangers & Humility on Sycamore - Nick Penston feat. Rachael Boyd

The way you look at ordinary objects, so careful, as though you respect the lines that construct it - the color that fills. 
You would notice the way each syllable feels as it kisses your lips when you say them. Little words, ordinary objects, building the altar of our lives.
I’ve always been able to see the way light changes things. How it seems to cling to your skin, falling slowly like embers or snowflakes, two opposites moving at the same pace.
I want my love to be an observation, to know your frame like a mountaineer - brave to climb it’s peak and foolish to sip it’s thin air.
I want to be foolish, I want to believe in something I know is foolish. I want to close my eyes and feel you drawing near, little breaths, heaving chests. Electric shuddering little hairs that tangle so briefly, so intricately before our skin embraces, falling slowly into me, trusting me, 
I can be that fortress that holds you.
However, I cannot hold you. You, the elk, that proudly dances in the wood. It is not your visage I worship, but your freedom. I cannot put that freedom on display, I cannot capture that freedom. 
It is worship that comes to mind, and I will gladly, foolishly worship.
What is the name for the small space between us? or the lengths that sprawl when our lives grow distant? Is it a space that you can visit? Do we live there when we remember those little details without names that we have come to know like past lovers? Infinite sensations that complete experiences, experiences that exist because of their sensations. 
The pendulum swings the other way, can I feel it? Can I feel you recalling me?Even when I’m near you, I long for you. Even when we make love, I want to be closer. We are burdened by these bodies that decay so much quicker than our experiences.
I want to live in that space, that blurry canvas where our timelines are painted. I want to be named after movements and sounds that truly create the name of this experiment.

Sometime ago, my friend, Paul Sutherland, and I set out to do a collaboration featuring his atmospheric music looping, and my spoken word poetry.
This was for an Odd Times Jam.
Recently we've finally finished this project.
