FOR FLUTE, CLARINET, VOICE, VIOLIN, AND PERCUSSION

C. 10 MINUTES

This work was written for and premiered by TAK Ensemble as part of the TAK LAB in New York, NY, August 2026.

i like

to think that on

the flower you gave me when we

loved

            the far-

departed mouth sweetly-saluted

lingers.
