At fifteen hundred the day stands at its widest, holding still before it begins to lean toward evening.
Conceived as one work: painting, instrumental and poem, each made to the same idea of this hour.
▶tap to play
Geometric abstraction
The Poem I am the hour with nothing to hide.
No shadow softens my edges.
The light has stopped asking questions.
Here is the desk. Here is the cup, gone cold.
Somewhere a fan turns and turns.
I count the hours I have not been.
This one is mine.
I hold it flat against the wall,
a square of pure attention,
and refuse to let it go
until the blue begins to tilt.
