“A room, A vestige” In collaboration with Maxwell Perkins.
Saudade In Collaboration with vocals by Miriam Leah. “Her skelton shell, pinnacle of the stage. Dim lit, breathing bones, ribs exposed, fingers tied in grief. A voice hovers, blowing her lonely knees, draped in smoked sorrow. The verse unwinds, the body grows, with a sucking thumb, four limbs thrown.”
