To reach that isolation
wind rushes across a great thirst
a dry and arid desertedness
Mile after endless mile
wind tempered and purified and tempered
molecules smashed against barren rock
Atoms stripped and polished
by invisible sand
Pristine, razor sharp
slicing through space – no resistance
rushing in great abandon
Its mate, a canyon carved by eternity
walls sail heavenward
sandblasted to transparency
And there, beyond the moon’s arc
a solitary crack, an atom’s width
Lover rushes into, penetrates the beloved
their love a single piercing note
strips the spirit from flesh and bone
frees the soul; slays the heart
Those wishing to hear
come as a sacrifice
bodies left at the gate
Pure Brilliant Beauty
One Note
All Knowing
not thought
not feeling
A SONG
