Metamorphosis


Twinkling snowflakes,
sun wipes
the window.

Wide smears
of mood/ weather
painting.

See. Hark. Thaw.

Slow motion
birds
practice
Philip Glass
‘Metamorphosis’.

It strokes me
with mock / muack(ing)
sounds –
a platitude?

Solitary 
winter plot,
a hint to soar
till the last
melodic 3rd…

    Oh, I used to listen to Philip Glass music sometime. Haven't done so in a while. I enjoyed the opportunity to hear some of it again!

    He is without a doubt one of myfavorite composers. His use of repeating sequences of notes driving on is wonderful. >KB

    I do not know meanings of terms, but I sense the passion and love the interpretation and proximity of the bird.

    I am still listening to this music! So fine and spacious. I think I haven't heard Glass since some theatre experiments he did with Robert Wilson. The 1990s?

      Susan, you know more than I... First recognized his music after watching the movie 'Hours'. Musical third - music interval, 2 notes, imitating bird singing :)x Thanks for interest!
