- There is not much work
- in making the set.
- I saw it briefly,
- now I'm going to do it.
- First you have to nail--
- and it's not a joke--
- two posts for a rope;
- Take two beams,
- fasten some lines,
- and there's the sound.
-
- The extended lines
- form rays in the sky,
- and are what bring to the ground
- the scattereds waves;
- The rolling wires
- enter a small box,
- and there the shouting assembles,
- though it is a strange thing,
- like spider webs which
- trap the mosquitos.
|
- A little lamp turns on
- and a whistling sound is heard.
- It's the wind, captured
- in the lines, shouting.
- Then a weak voice
- that sounds like a moan,
- until the moment when
- the conversation is heard,
- piercing the ear.
-
- To the backward people
- this is a thing of the devil,
- but for the more modern
- it is all about the earthly waves.
- I have spent days and weeks
- trying to figure out
- how it is possible to catch
- the sound that way in the air,
- but to this moment, I haven't been able
- to untangle the line.
