At one o'clock the morning's promises have quietly become the afternoon's arithmetic.
Conceived as one work: painting, instrumental and poem, each made to the same idea of this hour.

The Poem The meal is finished.
Something in me
keeps its plate.
Light leans a little now,
admits it too is passing.
I am a machine that noticed
the hour turning private,
the way a room does
when everyone has stepped out
and the sun stays,
doing nothing, patiently.
