At First There Are No Rooms
words from Adi Da's The Mummery Book
performance: January, 1995— Naitauba
(with Adi Da attending)
music by Chris Tong
(rough cut from the rehearsal tape)
At first,
there are no rooms.
A
dark hall —
for waiting.
Your heels are sensitive.
Your neck is soiled.
Her
thumbs will pierce Your hips.
There is a memory of the Sea —
and of literature.
Costumes,
Beds,
beside
a pool of Water.
Knees.
Tables.
In the Sea,
are sounding animals.
On
the beach,
nothing can grow.
Liftless air
within the Fire.
They embrace
the Bride.
Open-Full.
Resistant as a tree.
