*from* RITUAL



1.            Echo - Re/echo
The world is white and moving

Birds play with a twig of millet
I make signals with my fingers
No one understands what I say
This is the way I want it, I get it



2.             Evaluate The Broken Things

Your hands make me dirtier
than I was at the beginning
I do not mind that at all, love
Luck provides me many things:
I have your cleansing mouth



3.             Re/Evaluation of Movement

There has been little, and only
on one side – meaning both
sides, but independent of each
other, yet obviously showing
the causal effect of your words



4.             Re/Evaluation of Motion

One of us is a defective clock
and the other is a boomerang
You think you know which
is which but I have promised
the silent cuckoo I’ll never tell
