Prompt: Compose a piece based on a story or poem

This piece for trumpet and electronics was composed using Antescofo and Ascograph. I enjoy the concept of "mirrored poetry" (or "palindromic poetry"), in which the text is reflected across the center of the page. One example is Rita Dove's "Mirror."

The trumpet holds an interplay with the digital effects, one that I pictured was that of someone staring into a mirror.
