Arecibo Poems


In Time

scent of arecibo fruits arouse my nose
inhale   hold  savor

replay sade lyrics in my ears
listen   soothe   surrender

traces of r&b notes on my fingertips
raise   tap   beat

faded photos of birds, butterflies on my body
stare   capture   embrace

The Heart

The Heart

racing   insane  tick tock
rack your brain  fist beating  insane
a tool   machine
in your body 
soul purpose
pump blood
to breathe  to live 
for life

instead
it’s feeding my soul
not tablespoons  teaspoons  but mouthfuls
of

butterfly kisses
love songs
hand in hand quivers 
birds of Arecibo 
rebirth of senses 
whispers of  mi princesa

foreign  gourmet appetite 
feels divine 
to digest 
I need  crave body pulsates
for more

butterfly kisses 
love songs 
hand in hand quivers 
birds of Arecibo 
rebirth of senses 
whispers of mi princesa

keep feeding  my soul

Pentecost (As Simon Peter)

Parler en d’autre langues im Gott der Geiste 
Ecstatically, I will elaborate.
Not knowing Joel’s visions you suppose
That we are drunk this morn.  Don’t be enticed.
Evaluate... wine does not cause this trait.
Commitment to this cause that overthrows
Our roaring lion leads us on.  As Christ
So sacrificed for us, we imitate.
Two seven two two octal bits in rows.



Notes on "Pentecost":

The first line starts out in French (English translation = "Speaking in other 
languages") and ends in German (English = "in God, the Spirit").

In the last line, the 4 octal numbers (when broken down to binary) have a 
sequence of 1’s that form a Roman cross, i.e.

2 =   0 1 0  
7 =   1 1 1  
2 =   0 1 0  
2 =   0 1 0 

This was inspired 'picture-message' that was beamed into space by the Arecibo 
radio telescope in 1974, with the idea that mathematics would be the ultimate 
language.
