Singular shade
singular sound.
This is what I am about these days.
It’s not heavy, though it is clamorous within me, like the sound of one cymbal crashing when there should be two.
It’s the crash in my head, it startles my heart – shakes me awake, and the treble and tremble travel down to my toes.
Right down to the blister on my little toe.
Yes. This is exactly what I am about these days.
” …..here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)”
