Poetry and other Lamentations

the rhythm of release --- storm's end

Waltzing Andromeda

comets rain Tchaikovsky

where does music go once it’s caressed

drum corals of ears

grass skin cut glass

clumps of humanity pool helix ripples in cloud

ether’s humus all gather

benighted in dance

measure chorus of waves

from the works we speak

--do our cilia sweep wormholes clean

or buried cochlea

pleasure the ground

gongs of larynx

peel away the hour

and there is no rest

absence of word

who quiets the feet

of this template world

who watches Andromeda dance
