Symphony No. 1 in B “Renaître”
2026
Babylonian blood clot—
a timeless killer,
stop taking your time
Brittle substance—
systemic moral calcification,
dead coral color
Our sympathetic sediment is starting to settle
—I starve for the current again,
the agitation of the blood muscle.
Dancers on the street,
I too want to break—
But who will be left,
if not for us
Who will write
Who will sing,
Who will breed harmony
to repair the broken
Maybe I'm just the one eroding—
Existential existence is the mode,
furious apathy is the means,
loss of warmth is the median that we live in.
I feel a little less Human these days,
—a lot more sapien in most ways
What happens when—
the embolism slips
Arterial pathways,
make way
Emotional clarity,
an antithesis to erudition—
Low-Frequency
—Oscillation again
This will not be the end,
sometimes I slip into black
But new light appears,
from 93 million miles
a century of wisdom arrives
encircling
cellular high tide,
a grand staff—
You,
—the cosmic composer,
droplets flowing onto the arrangement—
conduct this symphony.
