WE ARE (3)

(Choreo-poem in Three Voices)

2nd Voice:

On roads so glorious with golden flairs

3rd Voice:

On nights of flaming cannon

1st Voice:

On rivers which wriggle towards the sea, toward the sea, towards….

(Pause)

 3rd Voice:

For the Sea is Memory

Of blind, blind waves

And sharks with oblivious jaws

2nd Voice:

For the Sea is Memory

Of greed-tossed galleons

And catacombs of crowded decks

1st Voice:

For the Sea is Memory

Of blue-black waters

And multitudes of murmuring mermaids

ALL VOICES: For the Sea is Memory

1st Voice:

Listen, oh listen, to the throb

In the tropical accent of the drum

2nd Voice:

Listen to the open hurray of the hide,

Listen to the restless clamour of clashing cymbals

3rd Voice:

Listen to the metallic prophesies of the gong

Listen to the gathering cadence of silent epochs
