Initial transmissions clearing earnest pathways, cresting purple. Starts with a place held over us. Transitory cloud-forms sonorous and aware hit this ribboning strand, unspooling and spiraling above that hinted pool: rippling out out, harmonious sliding front lends chord that length to hover. Everything in transitory form heard heading away from us, bent to the notion that each sound pulls. A holding received and disturbed among brilliant mist caught in tone’s light, somewhere ultraviolet, situating what branches out slowly off center, reddening within your confined pulse, left as memory drift, sealed as big as lake cosmos, unclear limited site. Down drifting order as terrain is remolding around us. Slow unfolding sentience, algal mind, intent on a disquieting edge, ambient refusal. Half-caught speech registered at times between tones, integral sound surging under cosmic splits. Observed circulating pierces hearing sublunar, thickening the disturbance. That sequence unfolds to the limits of a vast turning space. Laurence Weisberg: “sometimes it’s correct to rewrite yourself with a supersensible fire”
