3. Of Webern: A Color between Colors
the Eye
is what seperates...
Loathsome to lie,
it enervates unending spectrum.
Segregates light to rainbow
for human kind
for human mind,
for human power,
for human limit.
from Color(s) between Colors,
into seven false idols.
the Eye
is alive. Two true lies
telling what is and who isn’t;
trapped in Color’s alluring illusion.
(But we lay still,
Breathe secret silent seems deep:
those seams,
and things between,
will exist unseen
until we DARE to see the unseen behind Eye’s distorted dream)

droplets splatter in our open ears and on our closed brow. a wash, we fly together, two by one by three,
we dance and sing:
"starless nights were not in vain.”

8. J.S. Bach- Solo Violin Sonata in G minor: Presto
Our color manifold
I am these sides,

We are these times,
these sounds,
these spaces.
They are Us,
They are You,
