A Poem On Laurie Anderson's 2026 Tiny Desk Concert

Graphology Recovery 14: Laurie Anderson’s May 2026 Tiny Desk Concert

 

Between phrases,

interstices

 

of rejuvenation

& counterpoints

 

to cataclysm.

Fewer streets here.

 

Of differing

commencement

 

inside

this infarct

 

where I’m told

it will always be night

 

but it’s not. Dogs across

this valley collate

 

angles

of voice

 

while roused sheep

offset

 

those risible

clouds

 

adoring room to gather

or dissipate,

 

manoeuvre ordinary

attributes

 

of soar. Glimpse

of a barn owl

 

overflying

late afternoon

 

ahead

of its night.
