second earth
today there is a great silence over the earth.
a great stillness, the hush of contemplation.
retreat into the solipsist mind where all must go
to gather infinity. go to this place of inward grace.
enter into the sorrow and the glory in search
of the eternal transformation from brokenness.
the house twinkled with burning starlight. flashes
firing prisms of moonbeams pushing thresholds,
breaking fundamentals. soaring out of anatomy.
the icon, the creator's hand on the string of the red balloon,
this is the dark matter of nothingness where you begin
to know the other, to grasp the space of a single grain…
I. A. me and thou. however. whoever. in trinity.
percept connect the soul of G ought I’d, I’ve, in All be.
haptic taradiddle, a study of nature. green fields abloom,
run through lavender and poppies, a mephitic plume.
it must just be in me, star ash, and the sea. a two-day
reprieve, strawberries, and rhubarb, blundering on the brink.
AI priestess Mindar, Robo Rabbi, SanTo, aluminum, and silicon speak,
“we have crossed the threshold…the age of extinction is here!”
vague toast. tip. clink glass. with no need for training, unlike primates,
crows are capable of recursion. smart rosary murder drop cupcakes.
eagles are falling and bears are going blind. a study from nature,
plant with purpose. do what must be done. what is later refined,
care of creation turns by turning of turning around nor for ought to be
blundering on the end of the book, fingers of men did plead
for time, for beats. wet bulb pulsating 35 degrees Celsius,
how many earths? how many universes? phoenix of creation…
hoards look for a habitable zone, inward, subterranean bury us.
flood, coming conflagration, a last breath with coyote tactics.
waters return to the void from the original separation, a formless
ark of energy waits for the omega point to burst singularity, rebirth.
the elapse between cycles of radiation produced by the transition
between two levels of the cesium-133 atom, second light. lo, second earth!
