“All the being and the doing, expansive, glittering, vocal, evaporated; and one shrunk, with a sense of solemnity, to being oneself, a wedge-shaped core of darkness, something invisible to others” Virginia Woolf, To The Lighthouse.


{spoken voice}                                                            {singing voices 1 and 2}

an empty box                                                             an empty box {echo}

of darkness: wedge shaped core
herself anybody but others: sunk
to think; well, not even to think                        of darkness: wedge shaped core
                                                                                      herself anybody but others: sunk
                                                                                       to think; well, not even to think


                                                                 {begin as spoken voice reaches last line.                                                                  Voice is an echo informed by Acis and                                                                                                                             Galatea}



glittering evaporated

to an orange
laquer inside

glows a floor of rust                                         


a floor of rust
                                                                           a       floor           of      rust
                                                                                             floor                                                                                of         rust
