Musical Continuation of Event
Chords trembling down the strings
left open and still touching
every electric arc, swing, taking
the chances of reminiscing
a hollow reverberation
making sense of totality
every movement of another
every humming part ready
strikes another tone or tune of vigilance, destruction
importance or ineptitude
troubling variant beat
causing ruckus, the tiniest movements
an entirety, wholeness, suddenness
all of a symphony
in the hearing of a single note
guessing which would fit perfectly
outside of any chord or relevant attachment
swinging electricity to shards and planes
to atmosphere and dissonance
the airs and interests of attention
this universe of strings always playing
elliptical draws of perpendicular space
harmonious thirds and spirals of wave
immeasurable distances between us
between the spaces fit for us shapes
beyond the sounds our sounds are making
