Here’s the last ‘FreeSpace’ Collaborations put together by poet Nat Hall and artist Lili Morgan inspired by the theme of ‘Music’. This time Lili was inspired to create by Pavarotti and his classic version of Nessun Dorma (See here) . Lili passed her work onto Nat who produced the poem below in response.

.
none shall sleep
by Nat Hall
.
below the drapes of green & gold,
below the thirsty Hunter’s moon,
………..below the stars’ dancing eyelids;
above the turmoil of each tide,
above that thin layer of mist,
………..above the edge of your canvas –
.
in between my eyes & your shore,
in between now and Aquilla,
………..in between sheets of the north wind,
………………………………………………………..we shall not sleep
.
below blotched dots of question marks,
above my doubt-rocking silence,
………………….in between words we never said
.
en-dessous des feuilles d’érable,
en-dessus des giffles du sel,
…………………entre les dentelles du désir,
.
………………………………………………nous ne nous endormirons pas
………mais dans la chaleur de septembre,
dans l’azur de ton crépuscule,
regarde-moi le coeur en face et
dis-moi qu’on y fait
son lit.
