words

this siren
rings alarms far within,
keep away keep away
yet history knows better,
deliver me unto everything,
a sudden understanding
of things before oblivious,
a geometry beyond words,
the neurometa,
points of arbitration
in the brain,
reflect inward the howl
of too much knowing,
the loose minecart of the mind.

reflect inward the howl
of now upon now,
so small and so fast,
the only, the outright,
the unattainable,
to slip the mortal boundaries
and rail naked
the smooth tracks of the infinite,
the pulses where ancestors roam,
replicating codons forever forever.

this is love,
the interchange,
the points where all we meet,
here is where i have gone
and here is where you are now,
spinning like atoms
following atoms,
the all of everything,
the this of this.
