Tonight
Listen: | Tonight | (1:22) |
The mint grows wild over the nightshades, tonight. We dig. Tonight it is possible to wear lace in the kitchen and hold ladles like pom-poms, to reduce cider to syrup, dip in a brush, and drag it over our doorframe, hornets stuck in the stippling. In our yard a fox preens under a streetlight. When he speaks he wants to be a bird, like when the homeless park their shopping carts it’s often next to the sea.“Tonight ” was recorded in Nottingham, UK by Sabine Wütrich (soprano), Daniël Kramer (piano), and Simon Paterson (sound engineer).
