The drawing mistaken for a place — a small refrain

A spoken-word lyric sketch from the The honest caption cycle.

Verse

The room is not an answer.
The table is not a test.
I set down the drawing mistaken for a place
and give the unfinished sentence rest.

Refrain

Beyond the frame the light belongs to somewhere else.
Let the room keep breathing.
Let the words arrive.
Leave a little space for what is still alive.

Original spoken-word lyric sketch in the The honest caption cycle. The refrain is shared by the ten pieces in this cycle. No audio recording accompanies this piece.
