I
Shape of the valley
Where water
and earth had passed.
Resonance and future movement
grain, scratch
Reach and fallen,
white
Bow wears a path
carved by repetitions, the hair passed over it.
A place before the thing happens. And which retains it
Is static.
A constant sound
A continuous note.
II
The body in preparation.
Grounding, posture, pressure
hold, tuning, grip.
An object
Is a pull down?
Or the pull towards
Towards and away from
Two hands separate.
To the heel,
To the tip.
Even tension
Hold back, measuring space,
Sound like a circle
How the body met it.
Hand reaches to find the note
I hear it first,
Then see
III
We were looking for water
Following the path
to where it is most resonant.
Stone precipice,
height
Or a point of past immersion
Over, looking down
low passage between
Obscured by the overhang.
See out, across and not beneath
(but hear it)
IV
Space contained
hollow and emitting sound.
Bridge
Being and seeing yourself being
on the other side
Across, under, connecting held up
weight line to ground
My body is divided.
V
Back pressing earth
So as not to fall.
Lines weave
a connecting mesh
Drawn between, listen deeply
VI
Magnetic core to furthest sound
Suspend
in perfect tension
Dots, distance,
internal sound
Into, there.
