LIFE-WILL EXPRESSIONISM

wow what tone
I love that sound

it reminds me of the hottest days growing up
in the yard

big trees around

I'd always thought it was a chorus
I was listening to

today out here in the desert
I realized that there is a choral effect
in a single entity's song

I'm guessing this is from the nature of the sound wave
that comes off of the rubbing motion creating the chirp

as one wing (or is it limb?)
is dragged across another

the friction of a very precise edge drawn over numerous miniscule bumps

creating a quickly vibrating echo

not unlike the sound of a thickly-rosined violin bow
across a string

yet with the pitch heard only
after long long seemingly singular tones
(almost magically so)

finally give way
with a sudden decrescendo

awakening one to the massive effect
created by a single choice

made in inseparable mutuality
with instincts rooted in Universal Matrix

to sound


-------


and so
I claim a newly refined calling

like the cicada

whose greatest activity
may reside in the song
by which it arrives in the world

it is rooted in simply

resting deeply in
the Center of who I am
