Hiatus is a poem set to music by Gemma Moorby of MoorbyJones. The song was created on the piano and this audio file is a rough recording that Gemma did for me so as to work towards a bass part. We’re currently transposing the song for acoustic guitar, electric guitar and bass. Once completed, we’ll record Hiatus and mix and master it, possibly for single release.
HIATUS I purse my lips, release a breath too soft to shift a candle flame.
I purse my lips, reverse a breath and for the heartstop in between, hiatus.
I imagine falling worlds and stars in birth, from dark to light to dark again.
And this is how we live inside the days – looking back through gilded windows, looking forward round darkened bends.
I purse my lips, release a breath, too soft to raise a single hair. I purse my lips, reverse a breath and live within the heartstop in between.
I'm a post-retirement Drama teacher, currently working part-time. I have a grown-up son and daughter, three grandchildren and three young children from my second marriage. I write - principally poetry but prose too, both fitfully published. My poetry collection Ancient Lights is published by Phoenicia Publishing (www.phoeniciapublishing.com) and my translation of Blaise Cendrars' 'Trans-Siberian Prosody and Little Jeanne from France' (illustrated by my friend, the artist, writer and long-time blogger Natalie d'Arbeloff) is published by Old Stile Press (www.oldstilepress.com).
I play bass guitar & bouzouki in the song-based acoustic/electric trio Moorby Jones, playing entirely original material.
