LITTLE SONG OF DARKNESS
LITTLE SONG OF DARKNESS
for three interpenetrating
voices
Just
me and my aura on heaven’s roof
Just me and my aura
floating
around in
a big white suit
on heaven’s roof
Just
me and my aura
clomping around in big white boots
floating
around in a big white suit
on heaven’s roof
Everything here’s so strange
and mute
clomping clomping around
floating floating
I’m shrinking
in big white boots so
strange and mute
so strange inside
I’m
shrinking inside my big white suit
and mute inside
my strange white suit
I’m strange inside on
heaven’s roof
This poem was performed Feb 29, 2020 by Bon Echo (Anne Archer, Barb Secker, and Alfred von Mirbach) as part of the River Resonance Chamber Choir's concert Music of Life: Birth, Courage, Hope and Loss in Perth, Ontario
