Arne Deforce, cello
Text written and spoken by the composer

staring
into the face
of one 
absent 
das Atmen 
ohne Luft 
watching
im Wasser 
the tears 
ohne 
Salz
moisten its
pores
im Raum ohne 
hearing 
Hall
them caress
wo dieser 
Raum
nicht einmal einen
Ort hat
und das Ganze
nach fauliger
Abwesenheit
duftet					
und alles
was dabei 
hervorgebracht werden kann
the pain
of failed
forgetting
eine Spiegelung
der eigenen
kommunikativen Insuffizienz
the sound of yearning
ist und bleibt
im Sessel
is not that
of lyricism
mit Polstern
und Lehnen
but rather
the playing of
that violin
und einem Hocker
für die pantoffeligen
Füße
die es gewohnt sind
auf den allerweichsten
Teppichen
ihre Schritte
gemächlich
zu schreiten
with a vibrato
dick genug
um den Holzboden
überhaupt nicht
spüren
so intense
that the fingernails 
are driven back 
into their beds 
zu müssen
der unter ihnen
lauert
and bowing
without strings
with a bow 
voller Nägel
und Risse
made of wheezes
umgeben von 
Fensterscheiben	
so unfit
for beauty	 
dick genug
um nichts von dem
sehen
oder hören zu müssen
was sich 
wirklich ereignet
if those 
windows 
were to be 
blown open
der Trog 
aus dem die
Seinskelle
the incoming 
ihre 
air 
Asche 
would be so 
unpalatable
schöpft
ist leer
as 
er war es schon immer
to kill off 
aber jetzt ist seine 
the last
of that 
Leere
so-called
creativity
noch unendlich tiefer
which has never
heard 
tief 
wie die Wunde
the feeble 
caress
von der 
of clotted tears
upon a face 
der 
das Erschöpfte 
entschöpferisch
Schöpfende
scarred 
by authenticity
sich abgewandt
hält
