semaphore

sound and light, light and sound…

the universe is split in two for each of us,

into a subject and an infinity of objects.

everything in oscillation. vibrating resonance,

seismic Earth hums pulsating every 26 seconds.

it holds the moon's orbit to one face, hiding

its dark side in reflection, a mirror for the sun. 

a sparkle of fireflies flashes in unison,

an orchestra of crickets in synchrony,

alternating currents synchronize on their own

accord. neurons fire in patterns in the brain 

which does not create consciousness only constrains it.

entropy is information. nothing gained nothing lost

in the age of information. numbered auction lot

on 23rd street, flatiron to flatiron. walk right in

and sit right down, commando upskirt. they know 

the alphabet code. squiggles on the page, letters

parched and outstripped of love, as I request 

a solitary dawn somewhere coming up the central coast,

the winds split in the passes where mountain ranges

converge; one blows Santa Ana and one Diablo,

dividing paradise into two. below, in the godless yaw, 

it remains seasonless with occasional jacaranda, 

but up where the tall trees root all the seasons swirl 

into a pile waiting with bated breath for the great basin
