Night Tricks

Night Tricks Words by Gill Blow Music by gribbles When the house stands sullen in the dark and the windows are bleak blind; When the light throws pot plants centre stage and the garden is a looming shroud; When the car lock clunks with an orange flash and the garage door shuts with a thud; When a single star sits in a navy sky and black-laced branches fan beneath; When the silence rings like tinnitus and I aim for the door with my key; When the tendril of memory begins and the soft footstep behind me is the sound of a fallen leaf…. Then do I weep. _________________________________________ Night Tricks is a moving poem written by Gill Blow about loss and memory. I wrote this piece of music as a companion to the poem, and set them together in this video. We've been meaning to do something like this for a long time as mother and son. I'm very proud of the results in this first piece and I do hope we'll be able to do more. _________________________________________ More music by gri
