| An
out of body sensation over a terrain like piano keys. The pale grey
cleaves come from the quicksand at Soda Lake, plus window-sill like
planes or panes, an aerial
photograph of the country north of Carrizo
Plan, near Cholame, which s a ranching area cut through by the San
Andreas Fault. Chord progressions move up and down the keyboard.
Every day the child practices scales, C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C. Repetition
dampens the torrent of panic. Scales settle thoughts into abstract
elastic bands. My black and white keys are shiny and smooth. How
to strike each key: first you curve your finger just slightly then
strike, then as you stike you slide or slip towards the edge of
the ivory. Chalome is pronounced, by some, "Shalom". |
