Wide open
this field is
an energy halo-
the sound of
moon and stars..
your brain is a universe
inside your head,
inside these words
is sight from eyes
that peer out from
a million different views, as
fingers dance electric across
another page..
thousands of poems
electric ALIVE sonically
profound- grace and heaviness
deep and thick like
drying blood..day after day
our thoughts and speech
jump out of our own
mortal clay-
skeletons wrapped
in motion-
to create
to break away..
to listen
silence
the sound of
our shared universe,
in fingers typing.
