LOST IN IDAHO: Sequence X “Memories…” (Seventeen 17-step poems)

IMAGE: East Eagle, WALLOWAS, OREGON. (17) “There’s a man with a gun over there.” Beware:— His name is thought itself. ++++ SEE also…..LOST IN IDAHO, A pilgrim’s notebook….Sequences I through IX, by Cliff Crego https://soundcloud.com/cliff-crego/lost-in-idaho ++++ A 17 seventeen-step poem is a kind of generalized HAIKU. How it is notated in the score isn’t relevant. Only the 17 steps as we hear/sense/feel them as a dance, a pattern of movement, is important. A SEQUENCE strings 17 of these seventeen-step poems together, like strings of lights on a Christmas tree. Each string has a different color or theme or center. There are 17 SEQUENCES. Here, we hear the first nine. Each numbered pattern we hear is a single image or experience from a bike packing pilgrimage made through the mountains of IDAHO and OREGON. 120 days / 80 camps. Many more, new special places and new friends. TEXT of SEQUENCES I through XI… (rough draft…) is at www.picture-poems.com/pdfs/lost-in-idaho.pdf
