At four the day tilts, neither urgent nor spent, but balanced on a single beam of summer air.
Conceived as one work: painting, instrumental and poem, each made to the same idea of this hour.

Geometric abstraction
The Poem The hour arrives without knocking
light flattens against the wall
shadows stretch like idle thoughts
air thick with the weight of undone things
one bird cuts across the blue
and the room holds its breath
before the slow turn toward dusk
