IV. In between
Songs of Becoming, an Art Song Cycle for Voice and Chamber Orchestra
By Daniel De Togni
Text by Daniel De Togni
IV. In between
Look at me
(my) flesh on bones
cold sunrise in the morning offers no warmth.
In between:
the ashes of yesterday,
the memories of ten years ago,
Look at me
All these years, I've carried with me these ellipses of the sun.
life isn't earned,
life is deserved,
Look at me.
Listen to me
listen to the dull resonance in our skulls
falling asleep on a train, under the bay
only to go back under and do it all again the very next day.
Listen to me
we need to talk about it/we need to talk through it
Listen to me.
In between compassion and violence
we are touched.
