elliott carter - sandpiper lyrics
the roaring alongside he takes for granted
and that every so often the world is bound to shake
he runs, he runs to the south, finical, awkward
in a state of controlled panic, a student of blake
the beach hisses like fat. on his left, a sheet
of interrupting water comes and goes
and glazes over his dark and brittle feet
he runs, he runs straight through it, watching his toes
– watching, rather, the sp-ces of sand between them
where (no detail too small) the atlantic drains
rapidly backwards and downwards. as he runs
he stares at the dragging grains
the world is a mist. and then the world is
minute and vast and clear. the tide
is higher or lower. he couldn’t tell you which
his beak is focussed; he is preoccupied
looking for something, something, something
poor bird, he is obsessed!
the millions of grains are black, white, tan, and gray
mixed with quartz grains, rose and amethyst
