TYPING CLUB - April

RITES OF SPRING

Paris 1913:  a percussive and unconventional orchestration by Stravinsky
The movements of the dancers acted out the torment of spring,
The audience revolted.

Persephone: fair maiden abducted to underworld
eats pomegranate seeds, allowed to return during spring.

Dionysus: god of wine and frenzy
rites that dissolved order, crowds in altered states.

Green Man: face in leaves emerging from stone,
growth where it shouldn’t be, threatens to take over.

Desert Bloom: seeds buried for years
rain falls, the desert erupts a reply.

April 2026 Tucson:
