I Stopped, I Stopped. I Sing, Eyes Close. I Lower My Voice.

The poem is an extraordinary demonstration in the usage of pressure and tone in the voice. It starts off so time focused in the particularity of a heart. People 50 years ago wouldn't have known what some of the conjugations of verbs at the start here are, because there's so much about the relationship with your phone. And then goes into the body, into the bath, into the experience of something like a psalm, something that lifts you up. The effect is in the body, inside my own womb. My child back. I float. I sing, eye simple and humble. I lower my voice.
