for Mike Basinski

The sound of water
Sound of water
With a sound from the water
And the sound
The splash
The peaceful hush to break
The water sound!
Then is heard a splash
Hark, water's music!
The splash!
Then the splash
Splash!
The sound of the water!
And sleeping echoes wake
A splash of water
Water's sound
Plop!
A splash was heard
The sound of the water
The water's noise!
Water's noise!
Water's noise
Water's noise!
The sound of the water
The sound
GOES PLOP!
WATERSPLASH!
Water-sound
Water-sound
Sound of the water
With a splash!
Sound of water
Splash
The water's sound
Plop!
Lo, the sound of the water
SPLASH!
SILENCE AGAIN
The sound of the water
Splash!
Silence again
Sound of water
The sound of water
A deep resonance
Splinters silent air
Water-sound
Splash
SPLASH
Kdang!
Water-note
The water, and splash
The water's noise
Water's noise
Sound of water
And a splash
Water's sound
The sound of water
Splash!
With splash-splosh
The sound of water
Listen!
The sound of the water
The sound of the water
With a water-noise heard round the bog
Swoop!
The sound of the water
Sound of water!
The sound of the water
Water of sound
Do you say there is an echo?
The sound of a splash
Kerplunk!
Splashing the water
Water sound
Gigantic sound
The sound of water
The water's sound
Splash
A moment after, silence
The sound
Water sound
Ploomp!
Splash!
Plip/plop
Kersplat!
Blip!
Water-blip
Blip!
Blip/splat
Sound of water
Noises
With a little plop
Plop!
Splash
Plop!
Splash!
Splash!
The water: the sound of it
