This is a setting of an extract of a poem called “Sengzhao” by the Canadian poet Robert Bringhurst. I first came across it in his wonderful book Everywhere Being is Dancing and it immediately leapt out at me. I love the way it so simply demonstrates the porosity of the body and its interminglement with the world. I set it to music in my solar powered studio during one of the lockdowns. I then asked the wonderful vocal ensemble HOWL to join me in singing it.
Lyrics:
The feet are the link
Between earth and the body
Begin there
Begin there
The lungs are the link
Between body and air
Between body and air
The hands
These uprooted feet
Are the means
Of our shaping and grasping
Clasp them
The eyes are the hands of the head
Its feet are the ears
Its feet are the ears
Words from the poem “Sengzhao” © 2009 by Robert Bringhurst, from Selected Poems (Gaspereau Press in Canada, Jonathan Cape in the UK, Copper Canyon Press in the USA)

This makes a lot more sense when it’s right after I stitched my mind back to my body

The cosmos are sheldraking today. Also, since I have the rare chance to be noticed, I have been wondering; why do you sing about May so much? It seems important to you and I'd like to know why if that's ok with you.

This almost sounds religious (in a good way).
