about

fully improvised

The following line is from a poem by Denis Streeter, called Pyramids (March 2015)

lyrics

It's incredible how effortlessly chaos and instability fade into the calmness of suspension. As if the sensation of turbulence was sustained instantaneously, then melted into a synthetic smoothness. I've experienced the lift-takeover plenty of times, but never in such a dire situation.
I gain and gain, until I am among cirrostratus clouds. Close to sky, alone in the wind. From here, the topography below looks as if a sheet of paper was crumpled and reopened. At the highest point, the arbitrary maps fall into place. But for my perspective, there is no distortion as the image projects onto my eyes.
The edges of broken cities blend into the dead forests, making it impossible to tell where one begins and the other ends. She was right, I could live up here forever, separated from the spent landscape.
