Attunement

build a tuning fork 
large enough to rap once 
using all the force of atomic weapons
whose usage have been wholly destructive
yet, instead, 
with such force applied to the fork
a rippling, striving, unadulterated, 
mellifluous, symphonious, all
encompassing vibration
will shock through our bodies
cracking quickly through the air
slicing & repairing directly behind
itself
throughout the circumference of this
earth &
sending out into the universe
something new 
something experimental
something in
tune.
