"This is to be sung"
"This is to be done"
The lyric undertakes the task of deciphering and embodying a "particularizable" prosody of one's living.

Show stress, show beat, show alterations in pitch and accentuals. Tempo ruptured, emended. A valence of first and further tongues. Elements of the lyric and its mediations. The duration of the now, the now occurring, that manifests a time before.
A line's shape, vector, and motion interpolates perception and meter
A measure, a page, the book to embody the multivalent, the multidirectionala cathexis of the living instant to the acuteness of history
Each sound trace, each demonstration of the line, each formal enunciation: aperture: conduit: coming into articulation, into the Imaginarythe lyric as it embodies the processual
The poem may be said to reside in disrupted, dilated, circulatory spaces, and it is the means by which one notates this provisional location that evokes and demonstrates agencythe ear by which the prosody by which to calibrate the liberative potential of writing, storehouse of the human
To probe the terms under which we denote, participate in, and speak of cultural and human practices
To mobilize the notion of our responsibility to one another in social space
