The Art of Collaboration with Lindy Karpestra

 What were we drawing on as we improvised in and out of synch on those piano tracks ? All the better to hear our momentary lapses and collisions ? The poem is about collaborating with invisible pianist Lindy Karpestra and what were we thinking and dreaming.

draw on

and the invisible pianist
doodling repeat loops
faces in a riff
colliding with ourselves
meeting sky and smiles
on the meadow

draw on the top lip
unevenly shaped
in two twin slopes
of asymmetrical heights

In the meantime, my garden shed has been painted a lovely forget me not blue, which is perfect for showing my my new blue paintings.
