Early Spring Loaded



An object framed well. 
Off kilter in a pleasing way. 
Columned volume, scribbled, 

clay and chin music. Personality hire. Guttural as in throat as 
in itch or dance shadow, no notes on the instrument. 

I’m wired, I’m wire, I’m harmonizing. Surrounded, 
checked, compressed, 
rectangled, hyper focus. 


Full Moon Minor Key
