For the air
Years ago a rhythmic phrase of puffs
led me to create
Para el aire.
From mountain to mouth
the air makes the world
a percussive
instrument.
It percusses the mountain and, in frequencies,
the wind’s chafing against the stone
translates itself. Unrepeatable sonic event,
an object in
memory.
Air percusses
in the mouth.
Human mycelium in the webs of meaning,
spoken sound,
heard sound.
The nosotropic wind.
