the water song
translated by PLS
actors on stage sniffle
declaring the historical changes with manmade signal
the clapping lingers between movements
as if breaths sinking in the crevice of time
the expiring candle flickers, people are born
to tinker for some relationships
or the tinkering is actually the relationship itself
the percussions log onto our bodies exploring echoes
water impersonates a cicada’s wings
impersonates traffic lights
impersonates Windows XP
impersonating everything until it drowns in the impersonations
