A choreographed movement with monaural microphones to create a simulation of stereo. Each breath, each syllable, captured from multiple point sources to capture a poor spherical image—lopsided, with gaps.

take all ground away
the turning roundness
loved to walk
on the solid crust
from which to raise a house

space exists in
the same manner

air formed into words
stays that way
hardened into spheres
8.
clearing the opening
walking through what question
what material made thinking
taking note of posture
did she pose
as separate things
carried away
in the same clearing
on the first day of being
the sphere already there
she arrived
saying posing
who traffics air space
