A piece that seeks to show the creative or poietic gesture itself: hence its title, poem, which here does not designate a literary composition or even writing, but anything and everything that results from poiesis. The visual presentation, moreover, will not use words, being only initially punctuated by an initial rhythmic composition.

The poiesis is presented in a double movement, of flux and reflux, descending and ascending, in a veiled revisitation of the myth of Orpheus – but removing from the myth the male figure (and, therefore, any heroism) and transforming Eurydice into poetry itself, which, unlike the dead, rises above the underground world.
