Strikethrough #10

I.
stopping
at
the
arrival
of
a
starting
point
stirring
to
a
pause
lying
inside
the
wait
that
carries
this
moment
to
the
next
music
beating
desperately
towards
its
end
durational
anxiousness
skittering
bar
by
bar
becoming
the
body
it
wished
it
wouldn’t
fill

insert leaving
omit what’s taken
omit deceleration
omit pause
insert stuffed balloon
insert weightless flight
 
insert ambience
 
omit climactic breakdown
omit tremolo
