Verse

No bell above the doorway,
no grand and final sign;
only the final track
and a margin left in time.

Refrain

Let the last note leave the window open.
Let the room keep breathing.
Let the words arrive.
Leave a little space for what is still alive.

Original spoken-word lyric sketch in the Listening between the notes cycle. The refrain is shared by the ten pieces in this cycle. No audio recording accompanies this piece.
