sing in repeat

by Hannah Maloney and Jessie Lifton

-> sings songbird naming rivers picked from waves ->

waves flowing hum reverb on wood tones splash ->

splash upon the seizure-catch songbird sings ->

sing in repeat and what does it matter?

- -> upon the water where two rivers meet ->

-> hums in nameless the mercy seat  -> driftwood set upon the humming ->

-> the broken meter drumming ->

did you see the songbird’s seizure-catch, sings songbird naming empty quivers. ->

->in repeat
