Hiatus is a poem set to music by Gemma Moorby of MoorbyJones. The song was created on the piano and this audio file is a rough recording that Gemma did for me so as to work towards a bass part. We’re currently transposing the song for acoustic guitar, electric guitar and bass. Once completed, we’ll record Hiatus and mix and master it, possibly for single release.

HIATUS
I purse my lips,
release a breath
too soft to shift
a candle flame.

I purse my lips,
reverse a breath
and for the heartstop
in between, hiatus.

I imagine falling worlds
and stars in birth,
from dark to light
to dark again.

And this is how
we live inside
the days – looking back
through gilded windows,
looking forward
round darkened bends.

I purse my lips,
release a breath,
too soft to raise
a single hair.
I purse my lips,
reverse a breath
and live within
the heartstop
in between.
