DID THE SUN DO IT’S DANCE?:
 
Did the sun do it’s dance today or was it dimmer than the bulbs
that burned my skin by increments as I hunched towards the screen
making jerky little mouse clicks, cutting sound into chunks, 
turning them into colours. The phone made interference fuzztones 
down the mic so I threw it out the room, careful to ensure it 
landed softly – my animal, my familiar, my shadow. 
Perhaps it was it’s flight or maybe it suspected I needed air, 
that provoked it to refuse to work indoors, inducing me instead 
to take it outside in the rain where it eventually agreed to find 
a signal. I heard voices wrapped in birdsong & the snap of twigs 
under mammals foot calling me to make structures & get physical 
with scribbled forms in the wet grass, capturing in photographs
the memory of their ever having lived.
Back in the studio, watch the sky turn ultramarine & trees turn
flat & blue like black as rhythms turn into chocolate, dancing.
