Jonathan Geer: Music

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)
• MP3 short clip, hi-fi play (broadband)
• MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)

lyrics by Jules Supervielle
translated from French
by Paul Auster

green plant
on shipboard changing
with changing stars plying
from port to port
you taste every horizon

the propellor makes your tremble
from root to branch to
utmost tendril
and my hand drawing you trembles
at being out to sea

but I discover
the earth set in your
square pot
is the same earth I looked for
at the far end
of my telescope
