time turns on point
dancing its one
inexhaustible moment
rewinding shadow
until memory shatters
and all the soft
evenings return
carried on the voices
of old men
(my father’s the deepest)
telling again their stories
told already
some other future time
some moment arrived
only yesterday
all packed up for
its journey
into the night.

A very, very lovely piece.
This is a great vision in sound and motion.
