Fall, leaves, fall; die, flowers, away;
Lengthen night and shorten day;
Every leaf speaks bliss to me
Fluttering from the autumn tree.
I shall smile when wreaths of snow
Blossom where the rose should grow;
I shall sing when night’s decay
Ushers in a drearier day.
I will be like you.
I will be late.
I will be permeable, patient—
a paper lantern full of moths.
I will smooth my palms across
the bedsheet of my emergency.
I will be ancient.
My beauty will be wasted.
I will be bald, and thin, and yellow-skinned.
My veins will turn to black from blue.
Like you,
I will be born to swim,
and rail against the chore of sleep,
and skim the sea-foam with my hands,
and skin my knees,
and beat my fists,
and wait.
Like you, I will be born.

about
This album emerged from an interest in exploring different compositional techniques, in dialogue with poems by Emily Brontë (England, 1818-1848), Alejandra Pizarnik (Argentina, 1936-1972), Anne Carson (Canada, 1950) and Robin Myers (USA, 1987).
Nature, love, death, loneliness, identity, madness, desire, pain, loss, longing, family, language, memory. Each poem revealed a universe of its own, inviting me to explore diverse timbres and instrumentation.
The experience was deeply enriching and resulted in this eclectic work, which I am pleased to share, in the hope that it will stimulate the imagination of the listener.
Este álbum surgió del interés por explorar diferentes técnicas de composición, en diálogo con poemas de Emily Brontë (Inglaterra, 1818-1848), Alejandra Pizarnik (Argentina, 1936-1972), Anne Carson (Canadá, 1950) y Robin Myers (EE.UU., 1987).
Naturaleza, amor, muerte, soledad, identidad, locura, deseo, dolor, pérdida, añoranza, familia, lenguaje, memoria. Cada poema me reveló un universo propio, invitándome a explorar diversos timbres e instrumentaciones.
La experiencia fue profundamente enriquecedora y dio como resultado esta obra ecléctica, que me complace compartir, con la esperanza de que estimule la imaginación de quien la escuche.
