MILK Listens
Edition #1
Curated by Carla Zimbler
falling in slow motion
a glossy film of ice cracks
under the weight of our heels
and with each delicate step
tiptoeing across gossamer silk
we fracture the soft edges
of our sun-glazed reflection
an enveloping cloud
lingers hesitantly
on each exhale
then drifts and fades
into formlessness
snow dust clings to our flyaway hair
as we walk coiled together hands clasped
and watch the ground slip from under our feet
our dissolving silhouettes
snugly swathed and swaddled
carousel around endless moons
until our cheeks blush pink
and woollen socks drip wet
we detangle mixed up limbs
and smudge windblown tears
with five frostbitten fingertips
gesturing a storm-muffled goodbye
through numb cerulean lips
as we silently disappear from sight

Carla's playlist explores ideas of seeking (internal/external) balance amidst chaos and stillness in both solid and fluid environments. Recently returning home from a residency in Iceland, the tracks have assisted Carla's adjustment to opposing timezones, hemispheres and climates and Carla hopes it will similarly be a refuge for those seeking stability when their surroundings are in constant motion.
