After Rilke

After Rilke  (01:21)

The poem is, "I Live My Life in Widening Rings" from the Book of Hours.

Transliterated into English, it reads:

I live my life in widening rings
which spread over earth and sky.
I may not ever complete the last one,
but that is what I will try.

I circle around God, the primordial tower,
and I circle ten thousand years long;
and I still don’t know if I’m a falcon, a storm,
or an unfinished song.

These are the source loops from which the piece was built:

Loop A  (00:09)

Loop B  (00:18)
