about

soft mallets, aiming for the centre
each time
I am chanting
but there is no forest now
I have reached an edge I did not know was here
was this a blankness before?
or could I not perceive the space?
air
I step back, to approach again
and chant
I expose the frame with stroke
I call across a distance
the material thuds
the note is louder though
again
the wind increases
as I chant again
there are valleys in the distance; but they do not matter now
I am now at an edge
the line exposes my life
the strike exposes the surface, the form
all the notes, the frame, the pedal: in one note
my mouth opens
we hiss
the bells quiver in the wind
sotto
I raise to sing
I stamp my feet in the ground
the roar surprises me
there is so much energy
I move away yet extend
to invoke the shortest of wor(l)ds
the lowest note is a hum
my left hand is supine
and there is more land
I speak across another distance, softly
my hand touches the surfaces
(fl-)
I chant again
there is a lightness
