Composer
remembering the way
i used to write every night
in front of the long window
as the days grew longer
swimming in the word pond
reliving memories
and perspectives
listening to what emerged
deeper down
in the inner word worlds
in the layers of word silt
words sounding
and forming meaning
Transpiration : a film by Virginia Scott
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
Draw On- Virginia Scott Piano/ Modern Pianists out-take
about timeor the story of two pianists
listening into that time
beating piano keys beating time
from the where i was
then in that wilderness
the chords a kind of chorus
after many a summer
piano lessons peeling
into a day like today
and it’s dusting of snow
melting through spring flowers
i see a pianist waving at me
and in my waving back
i feel our palms drawing together
touching and becoming one
