Description
helicopter
Helicopter is a reminiscence of childhood, and a child’s way of relating to the natural world. Fascination demands a certain relationship to time and the world around you: microscopic attention, devoted to little things and for long durations, magnifies their importance and makes time pass quickly.
Children are full of this fascination, rushing out of the house to discover, not having yet shut the door on experience by learning the proper names of things – ‘bye bye zoysia’ – and thereby exhausting their meaning. How wonderful it would be for our thoughts to be no longer tethered down, but to soar once more, like in a helicopter, seeing the world as if we were ten or ten feet tall.
Released on the following formats:
Digitally on all major platforms (Spotify, Apple Music, etc.).

…a sense of fur
and I’m already out
running to my favourite spot
behind Darren’s museum
there’s a green patch
a nice place to sit down
…and there you are
how
deep
can you take
a hunting dog
how
high it must feel like
to be ten
and never die of old age
a thousand years linked
will I remain with you
the thought soars like
a helicopter
nothing below is above me
bye bye Zoysia
let’s find a new lawn
how
deep
can you take
the heart of a dog
how
high it must feel like
to be ten (feet)
and never die of old age
