Carnavalistic incantations –
a flutter in a storm of flowering mutations
band-together in fluvious migrations
defined, in-boxed by the knowledge of an end.

Cremated instructions defy not-time
to capture the death of the Births in mime.
This anti-memory, in a houseless window,
giving in to no body, no evidence.

Summoning itself before it was, the phrase
verbed without compliment until
the motion’s shape died.

Written at a concert by the experimental noise band, The Gravatons/Jack Vorvis during Nuit Blanche, a Toronto art fest.
