Wandelt sich rasch auch die Welt
wie Wolkengestalten,
alles Vollendete fällt
heim zum Uralten
Sonnets to Orpheus I, 19
lines 1 - 4
1 “Wandelt sich rasch auch die Welt”
Space is hard.
Voice lacks continuing gesture.
Landscape dominance, perspective hesitation.
Solidarity through similarity,
Human the state of circumstantial nature –
we cease to perceive
the quality of senses –
the listener a locus of imposed morphology
to accommodate description, or a hill;
equivocal certainty of interpretation
the human doing
violence to
the recognisable
The indicative a factory of transformation
2 "wie Wolkengestalten"
Formalised threats are saturated by the normal…
A glance between the curtain and some herbivores
counterpoints eternity and experience –
morphological variation
3 "alles Vollendete fällt"
Perceptual ideology moves heavy creatures.
The motion is partly circular;
making all directions regular;
each crossing, internally,
the framing; the movement scenery,
high-frequency broad spectrum emissions
a sequence distancing explosive glossolalia
falling in and out of illumination,
primary substance of the spatial
4
the garden would be heuristic
5 "heim zum Uralten"
Bodies contextualise time –
rotation between multiple ambiguities –
humanity without sentient form,
timbre of the accidental, attempts
to experience the transformational
a priori
