EDITH URBAN
from the hustvedt series
…I TURNED TO LOOK AT MYSELF IN THE SMALL MIRROR OVER THE SINK. I KNEW THE PERSON I WAS LOOKING AT WAS MYSELF…
…AND YET THERE WAS AN ALIEN QUALITY TO MY REFLECTION…
…ALL AT ONCE I WAS LOOKING AT A STRANGER.
…ALL AT ONCE I WAS LOOKING AT A STRANGER
FROM THE LAURIE ANDERSON SERIES 2020
LAST NIGHT I DREAMED…IN THIS DREAM I WAS ON A TIGHTROPE…
IN THIS DREAM I WAS ON A TIGHTROPE…TRYING TO KEEP MY BALANCE
…IN THIS DREAM I WAS ON A TIGHTROPE…TRYING TO KEEP MY BALANCE
IN OUR SLEEP, WHERE WE MEET, LISTEN TO THE DRUMS BEAT, IN OUR SLEEP
FROM THE TENNESSEE WILLIAMS SERIES 2021
IF I GOT RID OF MY DEMONS, I’D LOSE MY ANGELS
SO WE BEAT ON, BOATS AGAINST THE CURRENT BORNE BACK CEASELESSLY INTO THE PAST
IL CIELO MI LASCIA MA NON MI ABBANDONA
VIAGGIO MENTRE MORIVO ERO ASSENTE O FORSE SOLO SOLA
EACH MORNING AS SHE WOKE SHE HOPED IT WOULD COME THAT DAY
DID PERSEPHONE EVER, EVEN BRIEFLY, THINK FONDLY OF THE DIM SILENCE OF HADES
SOMEONE ELSE IS SAD BECAUSE HE IS ALWAYS SOMEONE ELSE
THE SADNESS I FEEL TONIGHT IS NOT MY SADNESS
ELLE EST DESCENDUE EN VILLE AVEC FRANCK, POUR FAIRE QUELCHES ACHATS URGENTS. ELLE N’AS PAS PRECISÉ LESQUELS. MAINTENANT LA MAISON EST VIDE.
EVERY WISE CHILD IS SAD
A GRANDI PASSI SOPRA DI ME L’ACQUA SCAVALCA I SECOLI
IHR CHOERE, HÖRT IHR SCHON DEN TROESTLICHEN GESANG
ORPHELIA, DIE DER FLUSS NICHT BEHALTEN HAT
HERRGOTT HERRGOTT SIEH MICH NICHT AN
UND DOCH HAB ICH EINEN SO ROTEN MUND
UNSEREINS UNSEREINS HAT NUR EIN ECKCHEN IN DER WELT
WILLST DU MEIN HERZ ESSEN?
NIEMAND KNETET UNS WIEDER AUS ERDE UND LEHM
NIEMAND BESPRICHT UNSEREN STAUB
NIEMAND BESPRICHT UNSEREN STAUB, NIEMAND
and is it in my sleep, do I sleep that I hear these voices
PSYCHE SAYS SO MUCH APPEARS TO BE MISSING HERE
ICH WERFE MEINE KLEIDER IN DAS FEUER
WHAT DU YOU THINK I’D SEE, IF I COULD WALK AWAY FROM ME
HERE SHE COMES YOU BETTER WATCH YOUR STEP
