The Silent Bang, Waiting (Homage to a lithograph by Parkes)

Wednesday, July 20th, 2011

The silent bang.

The glow
Inflation to slow expansion
a new universe in the making,
to break off from the old
the cord cut
no communication between either
and she knows it’s hers to watch and care
to the end and the end will come again,
they are on their own.

Her guidance through silent meditation:
Will these holograms sense otherness-connectedness?
one or two will see
and maybe act upon it
and join the ranks of those
providing the energy for
The silent bang
The glow,
again.
