THE CITY OF FIRE AND THE ASSEMBLY OF DEATH: a vocal ornamentation based upon two encounters

two places

locations right in between

places of fire and death

places of tears and sorrow

locations where air and motion functions

 

voice find its way through the alleys

sounding air

irrational motion


what eyes see is sound

what touches the skin is close

what travels through the air is light

 

 

 

In every spoken word is a meaning,

generated in respons to what has been sensed.

The sensation is flattened through the use of words.

What is covered by flatness is yet to be discovered.

It is yet to be raised into its emerging shape.
