The handwritten correction — a small refrain

A spoken-word lyric sketch from the The table as a notebook cycle.

Verse

A page can hold a question
without closing up the sky.
I turn to the handwritten correction
and let the quick reply pass by.

Refrain

There is a little room beside the plate for one more word.
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 The table as a notebook cycle. The refrain is shared by the ten pieces in this cycle. No audio recording accompanies this piece.
