about

This is Gabriel Jackson at his most brilliant; a twelve-minute tour-de-force for the three women of Variant 6. Gabriel’s imagination knows no limits in this work. The text is a poem by Doris Karev- translated from a collection of first lines for other, imagined poems. Gabriel’s setting creates a fantastic world in which Kareva’s lines, proceeding one after another, take on an increased poignancy.

lyrics

Blindingly, agonizingly clean
The morning like a Japanese flag
It seems that the hour will come
The world diverges and deviates until
Yesterday my mind was like the sea
A butterfly, the beat of whose wings
I don’t know if all roads lead to truth
With clocklike precision
Language is truly the house of being
Language flows
Whoever has even once known true beauty
Life teaches one thing and another
Like a bald man who collects combs
Our destiny is in our hands
Everything spins, everything throbs
Bitter and scarce is the northern light
All those delicate and stubborn
The three-sided glass house: one side
The nights write themselves into mornings
All of a sudden I am speaking in an intertwined language
The best part of day is night’s
The Swordfish, The Kiss, and the Lizard
Beneath the full moon and stars the motorbike
The sparks from your firesmoky eyes
The reader casts his shadow over the poem
Yes, inhale, yes, everything is just like this
To live more clearly
In what language can I write
Life’s living expression surges
I walked along the seashore
I listen for hours and hours
The which is can be expressed
Golden black my feathery tail
Desert dogs run through my dreams
Blazing unmoving sun
One night he went swimming
Lift up then, sun, a seaside house
The falling stars rain every more steadily
