la danse atomique
the light fantastic
it is like
another language
the dance of
the atoms in
silence music
cacophony
and many
tongues a
chaos ordered
by the
unknowable
in which we
as part of
creation’s
choreography
spin and
pirouette leap
and fly through
time finite
dust animated
in a unique
story identifiable
for a season and
then refashioned
beyond sight
and feeling
knowledge and
matter the
inner meaning
translated
captured and
freed by the
rhythm and
ground that
is source and
fundament to
our everything
and nothing
the atoms will
rest but the
dance goes
on
