Not Averse

String-Theory
(for Girton choir)

In the beginning,

only this,

a sound.

A sound

whose waves expand,

whose echoes still expend

themselves in riffs of time and space,

in overlapping amplitudes of bliss,

pattering into patterns, into persons, into us,

conscious harmonics, singing face to face.

Resounding into music now, we trace

in touches of a single string, our source,

flowing in everything, for everything

in the beginning, in the end,

is only this,

a sound.
