lyrics

(A companion poem by the artist:)

Every 17 years, whole bodies are mouths

16 times I wait, while the noise continues
its own substance incomplete
I xerox another page
a hum

while 16 times I wait, I tap my pen
a klaxon sounds
was it tapping too?

after 16 times, his body is still empty
he taps his hollow husk
with stone? with wood?
after 16 times
it taps itself

the 17th time, he taps himself
faster
above us now, tappings, tone
tappings join, no husk alone
whole bodies as mouths
shaping tapping as tone

as to one
his body still empty
the 17th time
above the ground
