Rachel Heimowitz
Projector
She opens her hand in the focused light,
fashions a long necked swan, then a gull
flying into a moon that has scattered
itself to pieces on the water, gives a voice
to the night that rings like a delicate hammer
touching the rounded, yellow metal of a bell.
The wind drowns out the music as eyes
return to the pale screen where just the curl
of her fingers twist the night time shadows
into these unspoken stories.
